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.

Is there a good way to self host a federated service at home without port forwarding? Is it possible to use cloudflare tunnels or tailscale funnel and still connect to the federation?

In the spirit of self-hosting I am self-hosting a tool that does what you are asking for. I run frp on a cloud provider. My homelab makes an outgoing connectionusing the frp client to the frp server(s), which use that connection to forward port 443 (and any other ports I specify in the client config) into my lab. You could even terminate SSL in the cloud running nginx/Traefik/etc there, though I have chosen not to.
