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.

Hosting on the public web isn't too crazy - start with port forwarding on standard ports (443 for sale/web) and add in a dynamic DNS address.
More than likely your residential ISP doesn't change your IP that often, but Dynamic DNS solves that problem before it hits. I use Cloudflare, but mostly because I'm lazy and haven't moved off of them after their most recent sketch behavior.
I had a quick search but couldn't identify anything obvious... Could you clarify what cloudflare did recently/why one might want to avoid them?
