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.

  3. Posts here are to be centered around self-hosting. Please ensure it is clear in your post how it relates to self-hosting.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or git here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title.

  6. No trolling.

  7. Promotion posts require your active participation in selfhosting or related communities, or the post will be removed. No more than 10% of your posts or comments may be self-promotional, or your post will be removed. F/LOSS Exception: If your post is about a project that is completely open source & can be self-hosted in full without payment, and your account is at least 30 days old, your post is exempt from this rule as long as you continue to engage in comments.

I'm not sure anyone shares the same glee I feel when I view all the blocked IPs scrolling by in my pFsense firewall. Suricata does a lot of heavy lifting for sure.

What's your selfhosting guilty pleasure or pleasures?

Do you get a lot of latency with Tailscale?

Why would they? It is peer to peer

Nope! We use it for Jellyfin too which also works great 😸

Cool. I just figured traversing a Tailscale VPN would be yet another 'thing' between you and your gaming partners.

Tailscale runs on Wiregaurd which is ridiculously fast. Also helps we're located physically near each other on fiber from the same company so less network hops.

I'm no stranger to Tailscale, I just thought it would have been a bit slow for gaming.

Either way you’re just going over the internet. There will be overhead, but not enough to be that big a deal.
