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've been using Hetzner for some time, but now I want to host everything myself at home.

DNS was easy with Hetzner, just point the domain to Hetzner's nameservers, and from there to my server.

How are people doing this for home servers? When there's not access to something like Hetzner's nameservers.

Is there a free/cheap nameserver I can use to point at my home server's IP?

For my dyn IP at home and selfhosted stuff I use cloudflare ddns because my router was too annoying at some point.
Well enough documented on how to set it up.

For the DNS entries on my domain:
selfhost domain: Cloudflare
E-Mail domain: IONOS.

For at home:
I tried to use OPNsense + unbound but had some issues getting the closer DNS servers from google and got further away ones.
Right now I use piHole with Google, CF and some other DNS provider.
