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.

Its not hard to setup a proxy and use a full SSL cert. A little bit more complex but much simpler for the rest of the family.

You suggested Wireguard, not me. I'm pointing out how it isn't a great solution to the problem that was presented; you can safely access it remotely with a VPN, but then that isn't very useful for sharing with others, and you can expose the service to the internet at large, but then you're opening yourself to risk.
