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.

I'm currently on the lookout for privacy-respecting domain registrars. What are you guys using and why?

Edit: I've registered my domain with Porkbun. I got a really cool one, it's called reallyaweso.me!

I'm interested in your "other DNS stuff"

Likely a bad description. I more meant DNS, page rules, tunnels, zero trust logins, and more. It’s honestly just easier to keep it all in one place, and to be honest they are one of the more reliable sources for… literally all of those things.

Hmm, do you have all of this described somewhere? This sounds like a great setup

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 months ago

Nah, it’s just stuff I set up as needed.

The page rules are basic, one redirects to an Etsy shop, another to serve images for email from a cdn, and another for handling QR codes.

Tunnels are set up for subdomains to reach internal network stuff, with a Cloudflare Zero Trust login which prompts for those that don’t have secure logins.

The DNS stuff is subdomains, email records, and a few records for certain game servers.

I also use cloudflare to monitor my DKIM rejections, though my email is through mxroute as they have/had a lifetime option and I don’t like subscriptions.

There are a few different sites as well, one is personal, one is for public facing stuff, a couple for side businesses.

It’s honestly just easier to keep as much together as possible.
