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 think it's a good idea, everyone should be automating this anyway.

This is still not possible in all scenarios. For example, wildcard certificates for DNS providers with no API support.

Then swap you nameservers to a DNS provider that allows that?

There are a lot of embedded systems that do not offer API support to swap out certificates. Things like switches, dvr, nas devices, etc.

How are those devices affected by having no notification anymore? The manual labor exists anyway.

Most network switches and devices have a web gui to switch them out. Those can be automated.
