A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

A question re. #wireguard

When I'm away from home I usually connect to my home (US) and my server (Europe). However sometimes (not always) the connection to my home is blocked, I don't know if it is caused by my phone company or my ISP. I blame the latter, because the connection to my european server never fails.

I wonder if there is something I can do in those cases?
I guess I could try to redirect the traffic to use the european server as a proxy, but that would make things slower the 90% of the time this isn't a problem. Also, this would require me to switch wireguard connections manually, which is not ideal, especially if I'm driving.

Another alternative would be tailscale (maybe with headscale), but I'd rather keep my infrstructure as wireguard only.

Any ideas? cc @selfhosted@lemmy.world @selfhost@lemmy.ml

If you’re just looking for WireGuard with some good support for hostile networks (and easier configuration) I’d probably just recommend Tailscale.
