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.

It depends on if you want to access it from anywhere (or give others access), or if you're only accessing your server from specific devices.
Since I only ever access my server from my phone or my desktop, I use Wireguard via wg-easy. You set it up as a docker container on your server and it gives you a neat web UI (defaults to port 51821) from which to add Wireguard clients. Once connected through Wireguard, you can access your services as if you're on the server's local network.
Note, you'll of course have to open up a port for Wireguard on your router for this to work, the default being 51820.
wg-easy is fabulous! I use it too and I love it
