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.

I don't know what to do, I'm experimenting with creating a Lemmy instance. it's listening on port 8536 but cloudflare won't respond and connect and while i connected the tunnel to the instance, i can't figure out the error or how to make it connect to the server.

"Failed to connect to localhost port 8536 after 0 ms: Couldn't connect to server"

Cloudflare tunnels support higher port numbers. I've done it in the past with Portainer. Also Proxmox which listens on 8006. Portainer on 9443.

and... with yunohost in most setups there is no need to use port numbers, for various reasons

It does, but there are issues especially with proxy content. Way easier to listen on lower port numbers especially to debug

I don't doubt that, I'm saying this more because there are additional routes that i had to configure in NPM to get lemmy working properly. This may be where OP is having issues, you can probably set them up in CF too but I have no idea.
