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.

Nope. But wireguard works fine and is super easy. I'd recommend something like WG-easy running on the nas. That's just one port to forward, with a reliable service behind it that does not advertise its presence. That is pretty safe.
Do you have a good tutorial for setting up Wireguard? I was able to setup OpenVPN easily but haven't been able to get Wireguard to let me access the internet while connected to it. Plus the Android app always says successfully connected even if the server is misconfigured.
I'm using pivpn inside a Debian container in Proxmox instead of using a raspberry pi. You can pick either OpenVPN or WireGuard during install. Mine is running WireGuard with no issues. I feel it's very easy to use.
