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'm using debian, so sftp would be an option, do you use a graphical client?
Right now I am just using nautilus (default GNOME file manager) but in past I was using Thunar (default XFCE file manager). I'd be pretty surprised if whatever file manager you are currently using doesn't support SFTP out of the box. Typically you can just enter something like
sftp://myhost.exampleinto the location bar. They may also have a dedicated network connection section with a wizard to add it.I'm considering this, as I can see by your example, you can add a domain name to the server. How would you go over doing this?
You should look into DNS or maybe mDNS or even local DNS aliases.
I will take a look, thank you very much!
nemo for a gui, or midnightcommander after logging in via ssh for managing/moving files on the server.
