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.

Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

-
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).

Still haven't properly set up my backups ... Have my Nextcloud on a zfs (single disk sadly) and want to send it to a server at my parents place (also zfs) but both are behind NAT. While I've successfully set up wireguard between the two, but the connection won't stay up so there's still a ways to go till I got a happy off-site Backup.
Maybe Tailscale could be super useful for this!
I kinda shied away from tailscale because "I wanted to do it on my own" but I've just set up tailscale (while on a train no less) and it was really simple ... Guess I'll run with it for now :D now I'll just have to set up the send/receive scripts but that's just some BASHing my head against a wall ;)
Thanks for the suggestion!
If you want to have more control about it and become independent of the SaaS offering, you can even selfhost headscale, a FOSS tailscale control server. I run it myself with zero issues.
Yeah I saw that. It's definitely intriguing. For now I'm good with the free tailscale but might look into it. What's your experience with headscale? It's mostly a broker right so probably not to Ressource excessive? I have a small public VPS for getting to my selfhosted infrastructure so I might just add in headscale there
Headscale is pretty light on resources, especially since it doesn't come with a webui (there is third-party ones like headplane you can use though). RAM usage is like 70mb for me currently.
