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.

For me a similar tasks should be handled by the same device. Network routing and VPN are similar things for me, therefor they are handled by the router.

It also handles VPN connections to other remote locations. So again same things in the same device.

Another benefit (which you can also have on the Server with some additional effort): the router boots up without interaction after a power outage. The Server does not. Them I can connect and unlock (LUKS password) the servers.
