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.

Everything is behind a wireguard vpn for me. It's mostly because I don't understand how to set up Https and at this point I'm afraid to ask so everything is just http.
I've been using YunoHost, which does this for you but I'm thinking of switching to a regular Linux install, which is why I've been searching for stuff to replace YunoHost's features. That's why I came across Nginx Proxy Manager, which let's you easily configure that stuff with a web UI. From what I understand it also does certificates for you for https. Haven't had the chance to try it out myself tho because I only found it earlier today.
NPM is the way. SSL without ever needing to edit a config file.
NPM is nice and easy to use.
Its not hard really, and you shouldn't be afraid to ask, if we don't ask then we don't learn :)
Look at Caddy webserver, it does automated SSL for you.
Thank you. It was mostly ment as a joke tho. I'm not actually afraid to ask, but more ignorant because it's all behind VPN and that's just so much easier and safer and I know how to do it so less effort. Https is just magic for me at the moment and I like it that way. Maybe one day I'll learn the magic spells but not today.
Careful with Caddy as its had a few security issues.
All software has issued, such is the nature of software. I always say if you selfhost, at least follow some security related websites to keep up to date about these things :)
Do you have any suggestions for reputable security related websites?
too many :) Here is a snippet of my RSS feed, save it as an xml file and most rss reeders should be able to import it :) https://pastebin.com/q0c6s5UF
few days late here, but that pastebin had some really good feeds 🙏 I noticed the OPML file was labeled FreshRSS and I also use FreshRSS. So I fixed up the feeds and configured FreshRSS to scrape the full articles (when possible) and bypass ads, tracking and paywalls.
I figured I'd pay it forward by sharing my revised OPML file.
I also included some of my other feeds that are related (if you or anyone else is interested).
Some of the feeds are created from scratch since a few if these sites don't offer RSS, so if the sites change their layout the configs may need to be adjusted a bit, but in my experience this rarely happens.
I had to replace some of the urls with publicly hosted versions of the front-ends I host locally and scrape, but feel free to change it up however you like.
