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.

If you don't trust tailscale you'll have to get some sort of ddns for wireguard and punch through your router

Let me know if you want further context.
I second the idea of a VPN instead of directly exposing devices or software to the internet. Requires more work and learning but it's more secure. I would argue that well-known VPNs are more scrutinized and pentested than any camera software ever.
