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.

Setting up a reverse proxy with nginx proxy manager is pretty simple and comes with letsencrypt support.
For letsencrypt to work, a software needs to write a confirmation code to a special path in your domain. When letsencrypt verifies that you can write to this path (and therefore control the domain), you get the certificate.
I hosted NPM in two servers for some time, I had it break too often and could not set custom configs easily. I switched to caddy and could not be happier.
When using caddy, you don't even need to think about letsencrypt, unless you want to disable it in favor of something else.
true, and caddy works very well with docker compose setups.
Caddy combined with dns challenges are the dream!
