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.

Setup a VPN gateway at Grandma's house. Works fine for me.

I think you're missing the point - that's neither simple nor easy for most people. I'm a network engineer and I don't wanna deal with setting up and (being responsible for troubleshooting) a bunch of VPNs! Nevermind the additional power/CPU usage from the tunnels. My parents just got fiber and they don't even have a public address (ipv4 or v6) which just adds another layer of headache. thanks west virginia...

If you have the skills to setup a Jellyfin server you also have the skills to setup wireguard.

That's a very specific use case.

They appear to offer a guided installation for windows users.
