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.

You can get pretty cheap domain names if you google around. I managed to get mine for £35 for a number of years (3 I think, I was high when I set it up) and got a .com name out of that.
You could look into DuckDNS. I know I used them many moons ago for Home Assistant but can't quite remember what the capabilities were, I just remember it was free and a bit rubbish. But as a stopgap it works.
Try that for a bit until you have a few quid spare, then get yourself a domain name paid for a while.
I used dynv6.com to get a free subdomain e. g. [name].dynv6.net and then a swag docker to do the reverse proxy subfolder->dockerport matching. Trafic in my home network is http and the swag ports are the only one exposed to the public. When I find the time I'll do in depth setup guide including the ipv6 setup problems.
ok I just did that and my problem is that I wanted to access my services with a custom domain like .homes
Now I need to access them for x.y.duckdns.org
Have a look into Heimdall or Homarr. Much easier, don't need to worry about addresses at all. Single set up and add Tailscale exit node for external access.
I've been fiddling with it again today and (using Homarr) my only services that don't work when I access through Tailscale are the ones I use names for (are.local, server.local, etc) and I can access them when I use the IP:port so when I get home I'll just change them to IP:port on Homarr and I'll be all good
Yea I'm using Homarr, I've just finished setting everything up. The only problem I have right now is that I can't access Syncthing GUI through the domain.
