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 am currently using yunohost.

I report that it works out of the box within the local network.

Is it basicly a docker alternative? I know enough to have gotten some servers running in ubuntu docker containers but if i want a lemmy instance then that would be a first time exposing it trough the web.

Is it is as simple as just opening the right port?

In some way yes, but Docker is containerization engine, which can be used to selfhost stuff. Yunohost is special OS for selfhosting and only selfhosting. Apps installed using Yunohost are not containerized, and they are made for easy deployment.

it is easy to use outside the network too. I use Yunohost for more than a 1 year

currently struggling to make use of zerotier to do that.

all the DNS stuff is like magic for me.

Did you take the route via a fixed IP and a bought domain?

[–] cichy1173@szmer.info 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yunohost provides free domains (nohost.me, ynh.fr or noho.st) with Dynamic DNS, but i bought domain in Gandi. I use this simple script https://github.com/cichy1173/yunoDnsUpdater to update DNS if IP changes. I am thinking about buying fixed IP, but it is additional cost every month.

yes I know about the domains but port forwarding at my router is yet to be impossible for me. also I am unsure if I am ready to open my network to the outside yet.

do you rely on the built in safety measures or do you have additional security measures implemented?
