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.

Centralization is bad for everyone everywhere.

That bring said... I just moved my homeserver to another city... and I plugged in the power, then I plugged in the ethernet, and that was the whole shebang.

Tunnels made it very easy. No port forwarding no dns configuration no firewall fiddling no nothing.

Why do they have to make it so so easy...

that looks great, thanks o/

EDIT: looks like you can only manage 1 domain before having to contact their support

As it is run by volunteers, they probably want to keep corporate (or domain hoarders) off their platform unless they pay.

makes sense, they support plenty of donation options, if that's suggested/a requirement to let me transfer in more than 1 :)

Contact support and tell them how many you need and they'll try to accommodate you. There were a lot of people abusing the service and hosting hundreds of domains so now they're making everybody request them explicitly unfortunately. They've also had to suspend their .dedyn.io DDNS service indefinitely because of the abuse.

That's why we can't have nice things.

Please read up on DNSSEC because you will be required to turn it on for every domain you host with them.

I'm not seeing bunny.net on that list, it has a DNS service with API. They have a minimum account maintenance fee of $1/mo and when you load up your account you have to load a minimum of $10. So basically it's $1/mo for which you get a lot of DNS and CDN service included (20M DNS queries and 100GB transfer).
