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

Figured I'd give Netbird a go, glad I did because I can self host extremely easily by using the new services feature.
You specify a subdomain, point to a peer, specify a protocol and port, and you are good. NetBird fetches you the certificate and your site goes live fast.
I can use my Immich with my mobile data now.
Where is this hosted? What jurisdiction is netbird in?
Netbird is a European company headquartered in Berlin. It's fully FOSS and you can self-host the entire stack, unlike Tailscale which relies on a third party implementation.
There's a script on their github that makes setup super easy.
That said, I've no idea where their servers are, if you opt to use their servers instead of hosting your own.
Edit: oh yeah, they also have a YouTube channel with updates and guides.
It seems similar in purpose to pangolin, how do they differ?
Never used Pangolin, so I've no idea. Sorry.
Had the same question since I am running pangolin
