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.

I use nginx proxy manager to reach all my services via servicename.domain.com for example.
https://nginxproxymanager.com/
Nginx proxy manager is really simple to use. Again it runs as a container and uses let's encrypt certificates.
Ugh. I really gotta switch to this. I started out by using Apache because that's what I use for work, and just what I know. I create the configs and get the certificates from Let's Encrypt manually. But now I have so many services that switching to something else feels daunting. But it's kind of a pain in the ass every time I add something new.
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_md.html just add
MDomain myapp.example.orgto your config and it will generate Let' Encrypt certs automaticallyYou will have to do some reverse proxy configuration every time you add a new app, regardless of the method (RP management GUIs are just fancy GUIs on top of the config file, "auto-discovery" solutions link traefik/caddy require you to add your RP config as docker labels). The way I deal with it, is having a basic RP config template for new applications [1]. Most of the time
ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverseis enough, unless the app documentation says otherwise.Other than writing an entry in my docker-compose.yml that was all the configuration required. The rest is in the GUI and it's super simple.
Oh, I don't have a GUI for my server. But I'm sure they have a command line interface for it, right?
I mean nginx proxy manager is managed by a GUI/web interface.
Oh right a web interface. That makes more sense. 😅
Yeah, I really do need to get around to setting that up............
