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.

It seems like regular people can get a public IPv6 so they can self host at home. Although, technically, everything public facing needs a ICP license so hosting stuff on Port 80/443 can draw a target on the head
Otherwise rent a vps in Singapore/Korea/Japan plus a .com domain and access via cloudflare tunnel as too much traffic over SSH/VPN/rarely used ports to a fresh Ipv4 address leads it to automatic probing and ban https://gfw.report/blog/gfw_shadowsocks/
Idk what you mean by needing an ICP license or those ports are targets. Could you explain? Won’t they always be targets so you just got to be secure?
Every site needs a government license and it's trivial to detect and flag incoming traffic on web ports on a residential IP address - they are going to be interested in what kind of " subversive propaganda " you're hosting
Thanks for explaining
That’s a good idea I had not considered. I am more interested in the local logistics though
You can buy vps in china that would be locally accessible, for homelabs and the like there are tools like frp, rathole. (I am not from china)
This a rabbit hole that is probably political.
China is very aggressive with controlling the movement of information and they fear the general public. Somehow I don't see them wanting people to start self hosting. They want people to submit to centralization so that they can be monitored for thoughcrime. Individual websites are harder to control which is not what China wants.
