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 saw that tailscale uses wireguard. Is there any advantage to using tailscale to deploy it over setting it up myself?
Just simpler. A pure Wireguard setup would be less reliant on commercial infrastructure since Tailscale uses lighthouses to help make the initial connections before they drop back to peer:peer. Sometimes that can't be done and they relay traffic as well. So the pro is that Tailscale always works and is easy to set up, the con is that you are relying on someone else's cloud.
If you're committed to Wireguard, don't try Tailscale first, or you won't go back :-)
Helps, thanks! I think I'll stick to wg just from a purist POV. Also I can afford some downtime for my use case
