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, let me just walk my normie friends and parents through setting up a VPN on their TV so they can stream their shows.
I stuck a rPi in their houses that runs pihole+nginx+tailscale. As far as they're concerned they go to https://jellyfin.example.domain/ and they're there.
Better yet, they go to http://homarr.notlocal/ and they have nice little icons to click on, that take them to all the front-end services I run.
They get pihole goodness for free. Their homepage is attached to their pihole if they want to pause/stop it.
I'd like to set them up to be more declarative than I have, setup/updating is a pain. Nix is interesting but the learning curve is too steep for the effort I'm willing to put in. As per usual, being lazy will end up being more work for me in the long run.
Sounds annoying but doable. No need to be offended I'm just asking why VPN is being ruled out.
