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.

You got the basic idea from other posters, but there's also a lot of weird crap in there as well.
Basically you only need multiple IPs when dealing with services that only really operate on "well known ports". DNS and SMTP being the usual culprits. For most home users there this is no big deal - even if you wanted to host those services it's unlikely that you would need more than one ip to do so. HTTP solved this in '97 with HTTP/1.1 which allowed for host headers, which let's a single server host multiple sites.
This isn't something new that nginx solved. 😂
