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.

Years (decades) ago it wasn't uncommon to create self-signed/local CAs for active directory, but it's really uncommon today since everything is internet facing and we have things like Let's Encrypt.
It's so old, the "What's New" article from Microsoft references Windows Server 2012 which is around when I stopped working on Windows Server. I kinda remember it, and you needing to add the server's cert to your trusted roots. (I don't know about Linux, but the concept is the same, I'm sure. I never tried generating certificates, but know all the other client -side stuff. Basically you need a way to fulfill CSRs.)

What you'd want to do it in Windows is all there, and Microsoft made that pretty easy back then to integrate with all their platforms and services, but I'd caution, do you really want to implement 10+ year old tech?
