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 are trying to access several different services through the internet to your home network, you are better off setting up a home VPN then trying to manage multiple public facing services. The more you publish directly to the public, the more difficult it is to keep up with everything; It is likely needlessly expanding your threat exposure. Plus you never know when a new exploit gets published against any of the services you have available.
Self hosted newbie here. What if those services are docker containers? Wouldn't the threat be isolated from the rest of the machine?
it's an extra hurdle, but it's far from a guaranteed barrier. There's a whole class of exploits called
container escapes(orhypervisor escapesif you're dealing with old-school VMs) that specifically focus on escalating an attack from a compromised container into whatever machine is hosting the container.
