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

At the very minimum stick a reverse proxy in front like caddy, nginx, or Traefik. Then have some middleware like crowdsec to inspect what's going on. Then whitelist the IP or the country IP block.
There is much more but those would be the bare minimum.
I too would like to know more. Jellyfin has been something that I am still heditating to expose online without a VPN.
I have Plex behind a reverse proxy (HAproxy) with Crowdsec and firewall rules all behind Cloudflare. My firewall rules in HAproxy block access a few different ways, like if request are higher then 60 requests a second, or if there is strange path traversal. Used the following guide as a start.
