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 been self hosting traditionally in debian, but I would like to be able to add services easier using docker. As such, I'm looking to move to a container based architecture.

One place I struggle is that I can't seem to find a good container where the default image supports ACME to support Let's encrypt for automatic cert renewal.

For Nginx, I would have you build my container. HAproxy ACME support seems to be a shell script.

Any suggestions?

I've been having constant issues for over a year where it's not able to auto update any of my certs. It has been erroring when I even try to do a manual update, but the second it's deleted and reset up it's fine (for the time being).

I recently installed on a new system, and it took of lot of tries with nondescript errors to get new certs fetched

Weird. With port 80/443 it should have no issues updating.

I've only used it on 80/443 but this issue has been happening on numerous different VMs enough to the point I've just stopped using it for new installs.

That sucks. Can't say I've ever had that issue and I used it for years before switching to the evil Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust.
