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.

From North America, and I’m going on vacation in china for a few weeks. I wonder if anyone knows if I’ll be able to access any of my self-hosted services over zerotier while I’m abroad?

Edit: To be specific, I’m hoping to ssh into my machine over zerotier in case I need to fix something and back up some photos to my home NAS via rsync or something

You have no idea how small these snooping apps can be. Like less than a megabyte and all your traffic goes through a server controlled by the pla and logs everything in and out of your phone whether your on mobile or Wi-Fi.

Yeah but the process of taking a phone, getting the unlock code, installing it, etc.

Lol you just flew half way around the world to get there and now you're going to not give them your code. And yeah, they probably don't need it anyways.

You go ahead and try that, let us know how it works out for you if you make it back.

Simple solution to every other dumb shit question you're going to ask; just bring a fucking burner device not logged into anything!

Jesus, I got this fence post out in my yard if you wanna continue this non argument.

You could just delete your sensitive stuff on your normal device if you cannot afford a burner. VPN certificates and logins can be revoked.
