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.

I have a few selfhosted services, but I'm slowly adding more. Currently, they're all in subdomains like linkding.sekoia.example etc. However, that adds DNS records to fetch and means more setup. Is there some reason I shouldn't put all my services under a single subdomain with paths (using a reverse proxy), like selfhosted.sekoia.example/linkding?

Who still pays for certs?? (I say this as non-snarkily as possible.) I just imagined everyone self-hosting uses Let's Encrypt.

Let's encrypt is fine for encryption but not identification. I have some stuff which I prefer that on, specifically around demonstrating services that I host at home in the workplace. Having full verification just reduces the questions I have to deal with. It's like $90/year for a wildcard.

Wow, okay! I guess that's a different use case than what I'm typically doing.

Do you buy an EV certificate for that? Seems a bit excessive.
