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 just use wireguard that's built in to opnsense. Am I missing out on something ?

No, but some people are stuck behind CG-NAT and can't port forward to the outside world for wireguard. Things like Cloudflared, Tailscale and ZeroTier get past that.

It's of course possible to use wireguard to a VPS and tunnel into that, but that's a bit more technical to set up.

ISP have put me behind CG NAT few weeks ago, but I just called them and they turned it off in 10 min. Hard part was to find out whats the issue since I had no clue about CG NAT. WG ftw

Yeah, same here. Played with tailscale, headscale and some other wireguard mesh tools. But I prefer the plain and simple wireguard setup. My network is not that big that I need yet an other tool for managing it.

Yeah that's what I do as well. I try to avoid tying my services to a company that can change their licensing terms. I'm trying to be self hosted after all!
