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.

backup your data and configs. Run docker. Run portainer to manage docker compose. Make a stack for each container and deploy. Use Nginx-proxy-manager to manage routing your domains. Open the ports on your router to NPM. If public run strong passwords and 2fa. If private but with local ssl you can use your local ip and it works the same, at least via cloudflare and npm.
Thank you! That’s helpful. How would you go about setting up a password and 2FA for your own site? I would like to make my services “publicly” available (to myself and friends/family)
I highly recommend getting them to access your sites over VPN not publicly then you don’t have to worry about this at all. For services that don’t have 2fa you can route the services from NPM to authentik. Then in authentik you have another password and can setup 2fa. Authentik is awesome.
You will be shocked how many times your sites are attacked by bots per day. Think five thousand plus.
You can also use fail2ban to block those IPs.
I’ll definitely do that! Thanks for the recommendations
