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.

-
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.

I finally got my ISP to enable bridge mode on my modem.
I also learned that I didn't lose port forwarding and related services because I had been moved behind CGNAT or transitioned to IPv6 -- they simply no longer offer port forwarding to residential customers. Ruminate on the implications of that statement so I'm not the only one with blood pressure in the high hundreds.
My ISP did the same thing recently and what was most annoying is they didn't admit to changing anything, while trying to sell me a business account.
This weekend I setup Pangolin on a budget VPS and forwarded it back home. I don't have my VPN backup but it fixed Plex and I can access my security cameras again.
Port forwarding is done at the router/firewall, so if ports can't be transferred its a cgnat thing they are doing. Like a Non CGNAT IP on the internet can be sent a packet on any port.
No, I got it from the horse's mouth: my WAN address was publicly routable all along, the ISP just disabled those NAT-related features remotely.
the implication of that is weird to me. I'm not saying that the horse is wrong, but thats such a non-standard solution. That's implementing a CGNAT restriction without the benefits of CGNAT. They would need to only allow internal to external connections unless the connection was already established. How does standard communication still function if it was that way, I know that would break protocols like basic UDP, since that uses a fire and forget without internal prompting.
It's perfectly reasonable from the perspective of corporate scum: take away a standard feature, then sell it back as an extra. As far as I know, the modem still had UPnP for applications that rely on it.
Oh shit, that's terrible.
