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.

I appreciate that mentality though. When things break, if your understanding of your setup is there, it's less to deal with.
I am forgoing the Portainer route this time. I am going to strictly use Docker Compose for my containers. I had too many issues with Portainer to consider using it.
For reverse proxy, I just need/want it for simple ip:port to sub.domain.lan type addresses locally. Anything I need outside of my home will be tunneled through wireguard.
I always quite liked Dozzle. It was handy, and has helped me comb through logs in the past.
Yeah, exactly: if you know how it works, then you know how to fix it. I don't think you need a comprehensive knowledge about how everything you run works, but you should at least have good enough notes somewhere to explain HOW you deployed it the first time, if you had to make any changes as well as anything you ran into that required you to go figure out what the blocking issue was.
And then you should make sure that documentation is visible in a form that doesn't require ANYTHING to actually be working, which is why I just put pages of notes in the compose file: docker doesn't care, and darn near any computer on earth made in the last 40 years can read a plan text file.
I don't really think there's any better/worse reverse proxy for simple configurations, but I'm most familiar with nginx, which means I've spent too long fixing busted shit on it so it's the choice primarily because, well, when I break it, I already probably know how to fix what's wrong.
