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.

Have nginx for all my reverse proxies, it wasn't trivial, but I used it for a lot of other things so it's fine.
I back it up manually to encrypted json, it's not the right way, but I never had much of a proper backup system, other than zfs snapshots and occasionally mirroring to another zfs pool.
It's not a lot of extra work once you have the rest of your apps running, it's fairly low maintenance and mostly just works, but again I haven't bothered with backups really.
Edit: Running most if not all my services on freebsd as jails, that might have made it easier.
