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 would like to make some of my self-hosted services externally accessible. Currently I use a VPN to access stuff externally, however this doesn't work on all use-cases. I also use Tailscale for some things.

I would love to use cloudflare tunnels and another auth solution (like keycloak) to replace Tailscale and the VPN.

Is this feasible?

My end goal would be to setup Immich for my family, and have them not have to worry about Tailscale, a VPN or anything other than some initial login to keycloak (for example)

Tunnels are not authentication.

Are you asking how to have each service challenge for authentication? That's up to the software.

True. I would like to add another authentication.

I guess my question is how trustworthy is built-in authentication? I'm not really talking about vulnerabilities, but that's a part of this, but how much trust can I put into a small projects login page being secure?

I'd like to do the same, but atm I use nginx to serve all the web interfaces... And keycloak support is either a plus subscription feature or made to work with hacky Lua scripts.

So for now it's security through obscurity, I got a wildcard cert and the pages are accessed based on subdomain. So afaik nobody has a clue unless they start iterating common subdomain names. (At some point™️ I'm adding proper auth though)
