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.

Any recommendation for a cheap, small #firewall for my #homelab ? I realized I can’t control easily what goes out of my network only via DNS block lists

Any pc with two network ports and Ipfire will do. Easy to set up and configure.

Go on ebay and look for refurbished PCs, it'll probably be cheaper than buying a wireless router. It'll take some setup but you will get the configurability you need, in spades.

Not necessarily the most performant setup depending on hardware. You want something that has a enough bandwidth.
