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.

If you want the easy way consider Cloudflare and a tunnel. You can set it up in various ways but one way is to have a public hostname which can be a sub domain and then point it at your server. You'd have to have the DNS/domain at least use Cloudflare nameservers though for that. This is really easy to do - and you can move on to other ways later if you wish. Tailscale is another way, but Cloudflare will also act as a very good CDN/cache without much tweaking on your part. I have used Cloudflare for ever so I do still use tunnels - never seen the need to change yet. In fact my lemmy instance is cached/proxied through a cloudflare tunnel
