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.

I did exactly this last year to monitor my cats at home while I was on holiday.
I bought two of these - REOLINK RLC-811A: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09873G7X3
I assigned static IPs to both of these, and blocked all of their outgoing traffic to the public internet (in case Chairman Xi or Strongman Putin wants to also see what my cats are up to).
I then spun up a local
motioneye
container: https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneyeThe cameras by default (I think) provide
rtsp
streams, so I added the two streams (rtsp://somehostname.local:554/h265Preview_01_main) to motioneye and verified that I was able to view the camera streams on my local LAN.The last step was simply to use cloudflare to as an authentication frontend to proxy my local
motioneye
container to my public domain name. Worked a treat!Hope this helps, cheers.
