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.

Yesterday I setup remote access to my QNAP NAS and wrote a guide for it, that I can reference later. Might be helpful for someone. This was my first time doing something like this. So any notes on my approach are also welcome.

Hopefully your DHCP server never goes down.

@Appoxo @ShortN0te On your own network you should be able to have a long enought lease that it shouldn't be a problem if your dhcp server is unavailable sometimes.

DHCP is a curial part of every network. When it goes down then you need to respond. Leases usually are given out for several days. Even then, to fix yoy DHCP you can just use a static address temporarily.

Similar stupid statements are: Hopefully your Switch never goes down. Hopefully your Router never goes down. Hopefully your Server never goes down. Hopefully your House never burns down.
