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.

I have been self-hosting for a while now with Traefik. It works, but I'd like to give Nginx Proxy Manager a try, it seems easier to manage stuff not in docker.

Edit: btw I'm going to try this out on my RPI, not my hetzner vps, so no risk of breaking anything

Why shouldn't stuff be public?

Zero Day Vulnerabilities. Smaller surface area, smaller threat.

If I surface something that runs PHP or Java under the hood and a new zero day is found in PHP / Java and my project or product doesn't get updated, I'm at risk.

When zero days come out, people script against it.

Things that need to be public are worth it. But anything that's just you looking at it? The thing with Tailscale, you can just let it run on your phone / laptop. If you don't use an exit node in your house, you won't even know you're on VPN.
