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.

On my Lan I have 192.168.1.111 hosting a bunch of various services not containerized. All connections are done either from my internal lan or from wireguard going through 192.168.1.111 so no external traffic bar wireguard.

I've set the host name of 111 in the hosts file inside the router and 111 and it works for all devices expect the ones connecting via wireguard.

But I dont want to have to use hostname+port for every service, I'd like each service to have its own name. I'd also like certs.

Can someone point me in the right direction for what I need to do? I'm thinking maybe this requires a local DNS server which im hesitant to run because im happy using 8.8.8.8.

For certs do I create a single cert on the 192.168.1.111 and then point all the applications to it?

First off, get of for DNS!!! Use 9.9.9.9 (quad9) or DNS.watch for God's sake! Even 1.1.1.1 is better!

I think they're complaining any Google DNS. It's just a privacy matter. Google will heavily track your DNS requests

Yeah, i assume you're like a lot of other people where you don't want everything you do to be tracked online. The service from Google is functional and all, by not trustworthy.

You can adjust this on your device (per device) or on your home modem/router/gateway, etc to cover all devices. Keeps Google, MS, Apple, ISP from tracking all online queries for all devices.

You can go one step further andd block all outgoing requests from all devices over port 53 and leave your router configured to do them all, then just configure you're DHCP settings to use your gateway (like 192.168.1.1) for both gateway and DNS

I live in a remote country and the other providers are slow. I could switch to cloudflare i guess

[–] mrnobody@reddthat.com 1 points 2 days ago

Dns.watch is global as is quad9. Says available in 110 countries
