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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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).
-
No trolling.

I know some are vehemently against the use of
.local
for a home network. It would be nice to be able to set a custom TLD like.home
or.lan
(these don't have any special meaning or usage as of now).This project uses mDNS, which is specific to the
.local
TLD. The whole reason that people are against the use of.local
is because it would break mDNS. So you can set a custom TLD, but it doesn't matter because this is actually the correct context for.local
to be used, and changing the TLD will actually break things for a lot of clients.I've switched over to using a publicly resolvable domain name, but with a
lan
prefix (e.g.lan.mystuff.dev
) so that I can do DNS challenge let's encrypt certs.Paired with PowerDNS that acts as an authority for the
lan.mystuff.dev
domain, I can go to a legit certificate/SSL protectedhttps://sonarr.lan.mystuff.dev
url. If I wanted to, I could add cloudflare records for the same services exposed through my router (Like forvpn.lan.mystuff.dev
) so that both internal and external resolution is possible.If you prefer, I think Avahi is able to publish other TLDs, but I played around with it just now and couldn't get it to work. If you have any luck, let me know what worked for you and I'll try to add support :)
This is what I tried, but it fails with
Failed to add address: Not supported
