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.

I'm using Pangolin, which is the current hotness. It's somewhat like cloud flare tunnels, but you need a VPS (find a cheap one). That tunnels back to your house. I opted into using crowdsec as another later. It's a part of their setup process.
So what benefit does Pangolin actually provide then if you already have to provide the VPS? Routing back to your network from a VPS is trivially easy, it's getting the affordable VPS (given bandwidth prices) that's actually the sticking point of any solution.
Over cloudflare, it's knowing you're the man in the middle and not some company. It has a few other things like zero trust, and an authentication layer.
I use racknerd for VPS and it's about $35/year. So definitely one of the cheapest part of my home lab.
