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.

Which route did you go for your homeland, a tunnel to your services or setting up tail scale/wireguard and access them on your trailer?

Both.

I have a free vps providing me a public IPv4 address, connected to my opnsense router via tailscale, and use a simple port forward from the VPs to the router's tailscale IP.

I have certain port/connections coming in either via the tailscale IP or my external IPv6 address all forwarded to my internal Caddy reverse proxy which itself is only running IPv4.

And I use cloudflare for my dynamic DNS resolution of my domain. A records are my public VPS IPv4 and AAAA are my own public IPv6 addresses respectively.

If/when I change to a service provider that doesn't use CGnat for IPv4, I can stop doing the forwarding from my VPS.

That's so we can stream music/video without needing to use the VPN.

But, I also run tailscale on my phone, so I can do admin stuff remotely from it, albeit painfully, on this small screen when things break. 🤣
