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:

  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.

Public Service Announcement:

Have you checked out Sophos XG Firewall for home use lately?

It's basically an enterprise firewall fully licensed for personal use.

  • All the firewall stuff
  • Normal IPS
  • Built-In easy transparent SSL/TLS proxy
  • Web Application Firewall

I like it better than PF/Open Sense right now.

Nope. I'll stick with OPNsense which is open source.

They place arbitrary limits on home users as well, which is a secondary reason to not use it compared to open source offerings. For instance:

  • you are limited to 1Gbps line speed
  • you are limited to one week of analytics, with no export option, so you can't even ship them elsewhere
  • there are also resource limits that prevent ram and CPU utilization
