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.

What do you guys use to expose private IP addresses to the web? I was using the npm proxy manager with Cloudflare CDN. However, it stopped working after I changed my router (I keep getting error 521). Looking for an alternative to Cloudflare cdn so I can access my media server/self-hosted services away from LAN.

(Tailscale doesn’t work for me at all)

This is what I want to achieve: https://youtu.be/c6Y6M8CdcQ0?feature=shared

I literally followed this tutorial to make it work the first time.

Wireguard.

Unless you actually have a need for the public to access the services then you shouldn't be exposing them. If it's just you and a few household members that need access then you should be using ddns and wireguard, or similar.

My phone auto connects with wireguard as soon as I leave my home ssid, so I never lose access to my services.

How do you do that? Tasker?

I’m on iOS and do the same thing.

The WireGuard app has a setting to “connect on demand”. It’s in the individual connections/configurations.

You can then set either included or excluded SSIDs. There’s also an option to always connect when you’re on mobile/cellular data.

I imagine the Android app is similar.
