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.

Cloudflare is not working for me the way I hoped it would. (mander.xyz)

Hello all, The first thing I setup to self-host was NextCloud, and I followed instructions and built the stack directly on the host computer. It's hosted on port 80, and I created a Cloudflare tunnel from "cloud.mydomain.com" which points to http://192.168.1.111 and everything works perfectly. I can access the site from wherever, and everything felt great. Now for the thing I really want, an Immich server.

I followed the instructions and set up Immich in a docker container. Everything seems to be working great, I can access it from within my network and backup photos just like I was hoping. Within the same Cloudflare tunnel, I tried to add a new Public Hostname. I want "photos.mydomain.com" to point to the same host but on port 2283. I added the public hostname and pointed it to http://192.168.1.111:2283, but whenever I point a browser there I get the "502 Bad Gateway" error from cloudflare.

I assume this is a Cloudflare configuration issue, but I'm not 100% sure. Do I need to do anyting special with docker if I intend to access it through Cloudflare? I THINK docker is set up correctly because I am able to access the Immich from a different computer on my local network. I thought using Cloudflare made it so that I don't to worry about setting up a reverse proxy. Is that maybe not true?

Or does Immich need something specific to tell it to accept traffic outside of my network? I remember having to set up NextCloud with "trusted domains" but when that wasn't correct, I got an error message from NextCloud, not from Cloudflare.

Any help would be appreciated. I've poked around a bunch and I'm pretty sure I can't solve this on my own.

Cloudflare Tunnels will let you proxy any port, as long as it's HTTP(S) or SSH, even on free tier.

Also I believe there's a thing now for proxying other ports anyway on free tier without tunnels, but I haven't looked too much into it.
