Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Thanks a lot. Tailscale is out, unfortunately. Because the server also runs Plex and I need to use it with Chromecast on remote access (it's an old CC, so can't add tailscale to it). Looking into Cloudflare and port forwarding. I've just signed up to NextDNS though, so don't want to add another layer of DNS stuff to my mix.
I rather suspect you already understand this, but for anyone following along... Tailscale can be combined with other networking techniques as well. So one could:
It's not an all or nothing proposition, but of course the more networking components you have the more complicated everything gets. If one can simplify, it's often well worth doing so.
Good luck, however you approach it.
Ah, I very much did not know that! Ok, I'm off to investigate Tailscale a bit more.
Yay! We converted another one.
