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.

Hello,

Long time lurker, first time poster and eternal newbie in selfhosting.

I have installed cloudflare tunnel in order to allow my Emby installation to be reached externally. (Previously was using tailscale but now trying this solution to expand my 'reach' and include my parents houshold)

The tunnel with email OTP works like a charm, but the access seems to be browser specific, so the Emby app doesn't seem to be able to connect (as it faces the email OTP challenge I suppose)

Is there a way to combine both?

I actually went down the path of writing a little script that tries to authorize the IP of someone that managed to pass the OTP challenge via browser. ( I get the user's IP and update the cloudflare policy via its API)

Seems to be overkill, any suggestions?

Thx

Correct. But also public access should be considered advanced
