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 have successfully installed (for the second time) a pi-hole on the raspberry 4B. But I also have failed to make pi-vpn works.

I would like some help or suggestions to setting up it correctly.

I also have a domain name through namecheap, and maybe it would help setting it properly, and then setting it for a jellyfin server later. Any help is appreciated. Thanks all!

I'm hesitant to promote vc-funded software, but Tailscale would probably the simplest setup for VPN.

This is the first I've heard of Tailscale=/=infallible. As a long-time user, should I switch to a different setup?

Stick with it for now, just be aware they need to make money at some point.

Try to keep track of how much work you invest because it may be time-expensive to switch later on if you built a lot of stuff on their infra. Which is not the end of the world.

I have remote users, and I'm hosting several services through it. It wouldn't be pretty, but we'd survive
