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.

Hi fellow homelabbers! I hope your day / night is going great.

Just stubled across this self-hosted cloudflare tunnel alternernative called Pangolin.

  • Does anyone use it for exposing their homelab? It looks awesome, but I've never heard of it before.

  • Should I be reluctant since it's developed by a US-based company? I mean security-wise. (I'll remove this question if it's too political.)

  • Does anyone know of alternatives pieces or stacks or software that achieve the same without relying on cloudflare?

Your insights are highly appreciated!

I moved my entire public facing set of services over to Pangolin a little over a month ago. It's been pretty sweet. I really like the auth system and they just integrated custom oidc providers so I've got pocketID set up with it as well.

Thanks for the hint to pocketID, haven't heard of it before. That makes me think it's time to upgrade my auth stack as well.

I tried and bounced off of several of the other popular auth providers over the years. PocketID was the first one I found reasonable to set up and configure.
