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.

How do you manage the distribution of internal TLS network certificates? I'm using cert-manager to generate them, but the root self-signed certificate expires monthly which makes distribution to devices outside of K8s a challenge. It's a PITA to keep doing this for the tablet, laptop and phones. I can bump the root cert to a year, but I'm concerned that the date will sneak up on me. Are there any automated solutions?

DNS challenge with a reverse proxy is that answer. I've been doing this for a while now and it works great. Most other answers here are work arounds or not very robust.

This is the way: https://youtu.be/liV3c9m_OX8

I do this with authentik for sso

I have local only things like vaultwarden and external things like seafile.

I started watching the video. I was not aware that LetsEncrypt supported wildcard certificates. Does this mean that your internal network uses the same domain name as your externally-hosted services?

Yes.

Vaultwarden.local.example.com

And

Jellyfin.example.com

This is the best and most robust way to do this
