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.

Then you expose your service on your local network as well. You can even do fancy stuff to get DNS and certs working if you want to bother. If the SO lives elsewhere, you get to deploy a raspberry to project services into their local network.
This piqued my interest!
What's a good way of doing it? What services, besides the VPN, would run on that RPi (or some other SBC or other tiny device...) to make Jellyfin accessible on the local network?
Well, I’d just go for a reverse proxy I guess. If you are lazy, just expose it as an ip without any dns. For working DNS, you can just add a public A-record for the local IP of the Pi. For certs, you can’t rely on the default http-method that letsencrypt use, you’ll need to do it via DNS or wildcards or something.
But the thing is, as your traffic is on a VPN, you can fuck up DNS and TLS and Auth all you want without getting pwnd.
