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.

Gotcha, yeah this is running on a set of boxes that I've been using as my homelab for a few years. Some of those have graduated to homeprod and that's where I'm getting stuck. I want to share Plex and the like with my family who are 2500 miles away.
Definitely would setup tailscale or a VPN between the houses if I was closer. At this distance, maintenance would be a nightmare even though my dad and brothers are very tech savvy.
I live in Ireland, I have family in Brazil that access my server via tailscale. It's not the best experience, but I think it's the best I can do with a home hosted server. Exposing stuff to the full internet is a security nightmare.
