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?

Yes - I like bind9 with views so I can serve external and internal from same instance. As I only have services for my own use 1 ns on my dynamic ip is enough for my home subdomain.

Bind9 has ok scripting possibilities with rndc and nsupdate.
