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.

One of the main reasons to do this is if you are behind CGNAT and cannot port-forward. However, giving out your home IP isn't ideal regardless. If you decide to not use a VPS as a reverse proxy, then you might want to look into using cloudflares proxy, which hides your IP and also serves your content more efficiently. However, I'm not quite familiar on how matrix works so this might not be possible if you need ports other than 80 and 443 as all other ports are not forwarded by the cloudflare proxy.
