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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I have been seeing periodic drops in internet access from LAN connected devices lately (last 2 months), and I haven't been able to figure about exactly what is going on. There doesn't seem to be a pattern, and it resolves itself after a few hours.

  • I can access the internet from my router
  • All devices on LAN can reach each other, both wired and WiFi
  • All devices on LAN can reach router, both wired and WiFi
  • I haven't changed anything in router settings
  • I haven't added new devices to my local network
  • I can't find any IP conflicts
  • It's a simple flat network with two APs, a single switch, no VLAN separation

Does restarting your router help in these moments? Might just be an underpowered router

Do your devices use the router's DNS? If so is it still reachable? From the client? From the router machine?

Might be some kind of DHCP bug too but I'm not well versed in it

Restart doesn't fix it unfortunately.

I am using my routers DNS, and it's reachable from my laptop.
