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 created a short tutorial on using sub domains to access services hosted within my home network, thought I would share it here in case anyone finds it useful

This is the first time I've made a technical tutorial so apologise if there are mistakes/its confusing, feedback will be appreciated

I did similar with caddy. I own a domain and my server runs pihole and it is configured as DNS server. So what I did was setup caddy to create local subdomains that are only reachable through my network. For example: subdomain.mydomain.com , that works only from home. It works with ssl as well

I use caddy as well, but with headscale too so I can access it from wherever I am.
