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.

For those of you who use Raspberry Pi’s in your home environment, I’m curious as to what you use them for. What applications are you running on them? Do you have your Pi’s setup in a cluster?

Ones dedicated to being an openvpn host for my phone to be permanently connected to (pi4), and a second runs pihole + nginx as a reverse proxy into the rest of my http(s) services (pi3b+). The vpn keeps my phone behind pihole when mobile + gives access to lan only services.

The proxy being separate lets me take any of the other machines offline and the proxy will serve a 'service unavailable'/'maintenance' page instead of just timing out the connection. It serves 2-3 8mbps video streams regularly without issue.
