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.

Lots of people recommending a proper domain, I would as well (way easier)
Just, if you want to go the complete "independent" route: either make sure all the clients you plan to use can just accept self-signded certs and skip validation or you need to create your own CA and import those into your clients.
Depending on which clients you plan on using that might be impossible (e.g. for some IoT devices, some Smart TVs and such).
That is why having an proper domain and use LetsEncrypt, ZeroSSL et. al. is way easier.
