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.

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.

Doesn't work if you're behind CGNAT (which I am), unfortunately.
To tell, if your public IP matches what your router/modem reports as its WAN IP, you might be golden. If that's the case, try messing w/ port forwards on your router to see what the ISP lets through. If it's not the case, you're behind CGNAT and either need to pay your ISP ($5-10 usually) or use a VPS. I'm behind CGNAT, so I went for the VPS because it's the same price and I find more value in that vs a publicly routable address.
Ah. Yeah. I think then you'll want to look into cloudflare tunnels. I believe that should get you through the cgnt and deal with the dynamic IP ll in one go.
Yup, cloudflare should work.
I personally set up a VPS w/ a WireGuard tunnel, with a reverse proxy at the VPS that sends traffic to connected WireGuard clients. My exact setup is something like this:
This could easily be adjusted to only have HAProxy work over the WireGuard interface so there are no public addresses to worry about.
But I used Tailscale for a while to solve this problem, and cloudflare tunnels would work as well. Lots of options to work around stupid ISP policies...
