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.

I don't know if cloudflare can do this, but I have a different DDNS + Let's Encrypt setup and I configure my router to set the same local domain as the public domain (in openwrt it's local server + local domain although I'm not aware of the distinction between the two). So when requests are sent over LAN (or over a VPN) the router points me to the LAN device directly, rather than needing to go through external DNS. HTTPS still works since to the client it's the same domain as the certificate is linked to.

Hope that makes sense as I haven't fully got my head around it. I just know it works (indeed I just disabled my internet to test, and the services are still accessible over HTTPS).
