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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I’ve not done much with external access in the past, but I’m playing with Tailscale and it’s pretty neat. Wondering if I can configure it to work like my local access does:

  1. I use Nginx Proxy Manager to set easy subdomains for my services, I.e. service.mydomain.com
  2. I use AdGuard Home and have a redirect for *.mydomain to that NPM
  3. This works great internally, which is all I’ve really used it for.
  4. I’ve got tailscale working and I can go externally to server.wackyname.ts.net:serviceport.
  5. what I’d like to do is have tailscale somehow use the same internal dns/npm info so when I’m on my tailnet service.mydomain.com still works.
  6. But no other external access, said subdomains do nothing off tailnet.
  7. Mydomain.com is an actual domain I own. General DNS is at Cloudflare right now (main domain was pointed at a hosted site previously, but that’s not needed anymore)

Any way to pull this off without a ton of complexity?

Look at subnets below. App Connectors might also work for what you're trying to accomplish.
