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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

That's my case. I send every new subdomain to my nginx IP on pi-hole and then use nginx as a reverse proxy

That was my exact setup as well until I switched to a different router which supported both custom DNS entries and blocklists, thereby making the pi-hole redundant

I run opnsense, so I need to dump pi-hole. But I don't have the energy right now to do that.

Pi-Hole was pretty straightforward at the time and I did not look back since then. Annoying, but easy.
