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.

I'm pretty new to selfhosting and homelabs, and I would appreciate a simple-worded explanation here. Details are always welcome!

So, I have a home network with a dynamic external IP address. I already have my Synology NAS exposed to the Internet with DDNS - this was done using the interface, so didn't require much technical knowledge.

Now, I would like to add another server (currently testing with Raspberry Pi) in the same LAN that would also be externally reachable, either through a subdomain (preferable), or through specific ports. How do I go about it?

P.S. Apparently, what I've tried on the router does work, it's just that my NAS was sitting in the DMZ. Now it works!

It seems you are missing some very basic knowledge, if you have questions like this. Watch/read some tutorials to get the basics, than ask specific questions.

This guy does the same thing as you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLduQiQXorc

This was like the 3rd result for searching for nginxproxymanager on yt.

Guess I am going ahead of myself, yes, which gets even more complicated by having another server (Synology NAS) already installed and messing with networking a little, as internal settings appear to expect the NAS to be the only exposed thing on the network.

Thanks for the link! I've seen that thumbnail, but most guides are solely focused on actually installing Nginx Proxy Manager, which is the easy part, and skip the rest, so I glanced that one over.

P.S. Looks like I did everything right, I just need to sort my SSL stuff to work properly.
