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.

Safer in terms of what?
If you can't justify it, then no, save your money.
Just in terms of broadcasting my home IP directly vs having a middleman, essentially.
You're not "broadcasting" anything. You're running a server.
Your browser is the thing sending your ip to every site you visit. And beyond simple geolocation data it's not that useful to anybody.
Sorry, yeah, "broadcasting" was a bad word choice. What I meant was that if I port-forward, it exposes that socket to potential bad actors searching for exposed services.
