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.

I have a home setup with private services and Wireguard to phone in from outside, and would sometimes like to be able to access some of these services from devices that don't have their own Wireguard client like an eBook reader.

Ideally, I would have Wireguard on my Android phone, create a WiFi hotspot and allow other devices to use that Wireguard connection. Out of the box this doesn't work. Does anybody know how to achieve it?

@tofubl tailscale is a mesh network that connects your clients together. and those clients would run a tailscale client on them. There is an additional option of sharing the local network that your device is on with your main tailscale network, thus connecting all your home devices to your private self hosted server network.
This page has more details along with a video that goes in detail: #^https://tailscale.com/kb/1019/subnets
