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.

I'm writing my own novice guide to setting up a home server, the stuff I wish I'd been told when I started. Would love feedback from beginners on how useful this is, as well as feedback from veteran self-hosters on how accurate this is, and I welcome suggestions from anyone about what I should add next.

update: tweaked the introduction a bit, corrected title to match header, added note about podman-compose v1.0.6 incompatibility.

update: major update, v0.9.2 here

Your page links 404 out, but if you reduce it to https://klay.gay/self-host/ it works and shows v.0.9.2 so you may want to edit your post. :)

I would like a very small segment on IPv4, the implications of NAT and why NAT reflection should be turned on- why uPnP should never be turned on in residential networks and only if you know what you're doing in any other networks, and maybe how IPv6 solves some of these issues.

These are the issues I've struggled with. Even now I curse under my breath whenever I have to deal with NAT.
