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.

For me it's gotta be Portainer, Vaultwarden, and Tailscale. Everything else (FreshRSS, Heimdall, Paperless) is just cream.

+1 for Tailscale. It's a vital piece of the system for me now.

What makes it so useful? Is it just remote access if you're away from your pc, or what do you use it for?

Tailscale is an overlay network, like a traditional VPN, but with very little config needed to get everything connected. You can use their managed lighthouse and management servers or run your own with Headscale.

Basically you just login to tailscale on all your devices and they get a LAN connection piped over the Internet without opening ports or needing to manage any infrastructure.
