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.

Like, good for you, man.
But you should really keep your stuff inside the VPN and not expose things, it opens up a pile of potential risks that you don't need to have. You can still use a reverse proxy inside the VPN and use your own DNS server that spits out that internal address to your devices for your various applications. If you absolutely, positively must have something exposed directly, put it on it's own VLAN and with no access to anything you value.
I want to be able to upload/download/share my photos from anywhere in the world without using a VPN. Additionally, this satisfies the wife requirement. It works in the background without her needing her to turn on the VPN. I don't want her to keep asking me how do I turn on the VPN? If it's just me, then no issue, I'll use a VPN.
To be fair, wireguard is pretty painless.
You set up the VPN and it's always on. There's no hassle.
