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 want to start with self hosting something available from internet. Currently I have jellyfin, nas etc but everything is available in local network.

My biggest concern is securing local network. I thought i will run application on separate server, I will use small vps as proxy, but Im not sure if it will be enough

I was pondering the same for last couple of days and had some thoughts on how to make it feasible. My research led me so far to 2 prerequisites:

  1. must have Anubis in front
  2. must have a WAF solution in place that covers at least OWASP Top 10

I found pretty good Caddy documentation that covers both, so I think I’ll deploy a secondary Caddy reverse proxy that’ll perform such ops for public facing services.

Of course, I currently have only 1 Caddy instance reverse proxy ing my internal services, haven’t reached the part on traffic handling when my devices are connected to the “safe network” (aka my home LAN)
