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:

  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.

Thanks for elaborating. Thats exactly my usecase. You can use lets encrypt certs with a dns challenge I believe. You wildcard a subdomain like *.abc.def.com

Then you set your services to e.g. homeassistant.abc.def.com both on proxy and local dns.

I believe you have to expose your ports once to get the cert and close them immediately. You set the domain to point to the public ip of your router, get the challenge done, close ports and the public domain goes nowhere.

Install the cert, point the local dns to your server ip, done.

If you need more info, let me know.
