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 just worried about attacks on my router in case someone gets ahold of the link. Im learning all this security stuff. I actually helped my friend with his lemmy instance and got it running.
I just know next to nothing about security...
Give me something to try and get working I'll pick it up, but I don't even know where to start with this stuff. I read something the other day about using cloudflare to connect to a VPS and then direct that to my nas or something.
I have 2 VPS services and 1 already hosts my jellyfin instance but i was gonna try out emby however, I wanna share my library with family like I share my Jellyfin with them. Just the VPS I run my jellyfin on handles all the security stuff. shrugs
I wanted to do vlan , but that would mean no more super fast local access
To reduce that, there are a few things you can do.
Option 1:
Only open port 443 and run everything through a reverse proxy like traefik. You can open other ports ad you need them (game server for example)
Run crowdsec to get rid of 95% of bad actors
Whitelist IPs that you know traffic will be coming from and drop everything else
Option 2:
Option 3:
Run tailscale
run fail2ban
It's been a while since I've heard anything about this but didn't they change their ToS in regards to media on their network? I thought I read something about that clause getting removed at some point a few months back.
That's a fair point, I self host stuff more out of convenience over privacy (although that's still a factor) so I guess I just care less about them watching my traffic I suppose. CF is just so easy with their Argo Tunnels and domain registrar service.
I believe media hosting is only against their ToS if you try and use the proxy service. In the DNS page you would want to make sure the clouds are not orange. Fair warning though now your IP is exposed to the public.
I use their tunnels in conjunction with internal split horizon DNS so I don't have to forward any ports and can access things locally faster so I'm probably breaking this rule but I haven't gotten any emails or letters about it yet. Crossing my fingers they don't care lol
Can this be done with an ISP that gives you a dynamic IP? I have a domain through Google Domains, I just have no idea how to set it up for Jellyfin
