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.

Yeah I'm not saying its perfect and LLMs are non-deterministic so it could give you some crap. You're not wrong and it's good to be aware of that. How do you verify some random stranger from the internet wasn't an asshole and gave you malicious config? 🤷 The best answer is probably just that OP should heed the warning on the website they linked, if they have no confidence or relevant skills:
I pasted the OP unmodified into a local LLM and it gave me this:
along with correct instructions on finding the IP of the laptop, port forwarding, and examples on how to set up DDNS for several popular providers. The only thing I can see that is wrong is the port should be 8893 instead of 8000 and they may want to proxy a different path to Nepenthes than
/There is no guarantee either, but on a public forum at least a couple of eyes look at it too. Not saying that this makes it trust worthy. But a LLM usually words it output very direct and saying "this is the absolut truth" which can lead to a much higher trust relation then a stranger on a forum that writes "maybe try this".
I generelly would not recommend using the llm for potential security related questions (or important or professionally questions) were your own knowledge is not big enough to quickly vet the output.
