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.
-
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.

Ah, nice. I actually didn't realize that. They are also open source friendly https://tailscale.com/opensource I don't hate Tailscale, btw. They seem nice.
But, I like Netbird lets you self-host the server components. And, an important feature for me, is that Netbird doesn't require me to create an account with Big Tech to use the service. Right now I created a dummy account with GitHub just to use Tailscale, Netbird just allows me to create a username and password. E-Z P-Z. No extra hoops to jump through.
After switching to Netbird, I'll be able to get completely off of GitHub.
headscale, an open-source reimplementation of the tailscale control server, exists. I haven't tried it myself yet, but it claims to be an option for a fully selfhosted tailscale-compatible network.
It's quite fine, but not as feature complete as the proprietary control plane. My main issue is that it doesn't support tailnet lock yet, and it'll take a while before they'll implement grants instead of the old ACL system
Yeah, I'm aware of Headscale. I even think it's cool that Tailscale isn't trying to kill them: https://tailscale.com/opensource#encouraging-headscale
