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.

To build on this since I have this setup now, it basically creates a new docker network that you can attach containers to, and have all of their traffic routed through it. Basically I have the gluetun container running, then in my qbittorrent docked-compose I have network_mode: "container:gluetun".

One thing to watch out for is you have to specify the ports in the gluetun docked-compose instead of in each docked-compose.

Additionally, if gluetun shuts down and the apps using it don't, you'll have to restart the apps using it. Not an issue if it's all in the same docker-compose file, but I like separating docker-compose services so I have qbittorrent/docker-compose.yml and gluetun/docker-compose.yml
