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.

Public Service Announcement:

Have you checked out Sophos XG Firewall for home use lately?

It's basically an enterprise firewall fully licensed for personal use.

  • All the firewall stuff
  • Normal IPS
  • Built-In easy transparent SSL/TLS proxy
  • Web Application Firewall

I like it better than PF/Open Sense right now.

This is true, the 6 GB RAM limit and four cores.

I run a pretty enterprise home lab, and I haven't ever seen the devices hit the resource limit.

I have around 3k IPS rules and TLS inspection for most categories of sites except the normal stuff like streaming, banking, etc that you'd not want or need to inspect.

For anyone it might help, I use these as inline proxies rather than as the gateway at the moment. So they have more than just internet traffic going through them, they also have segments of my LANs getting evaluated. Performance has been great so far.
