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.

I run pretty much all my stuff through NPMplus. Then I have a firewall between my public and private networks in case something does get compromised. But I've had Plex exposed (on a non-default port) for literally years and nothing ever happens.
Why NPMplus and not the default NPM?
Primarily for the CrowdSec integration (one less thing to set up manually)

Why link the fork of a fork in your original response?
