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.

Appears to be Hetzner for now, wouldn't be surprised if all VPS get affected eventually.

I wonder if you can get around this by using cloudflare proxy for a domain and then in the settings for the server disabling remote access and only allowing discovery through your domain? I'm not with Hetzner but I'll give this setup a try and see how it goes.

It's against Cloudflare ToS to use video through their services (both the reverse proxy and the tunnel) unless you pay for their video streaming service.

They removed that clause. Ctrl-f "video" on their ToS page gives 0 results

You're looking in the wrong place. That page is the generic terms of service that applies to all services, whereas the limitation on video is in the CDN-specific terms of service: https://www.cloudflare.com/service-specific-terms-application-services/. Of course they don't ban video in the generic terms of service, as it'd result in video being banned from their video streaming service :)

I've heard that tunnels have a similar restriction since it uses the same infrastructure, but I can't find the specific clause for it at the moment.

Fair, although you're probably fine for "hosting jellyfin for your family" levels even then. If cloudflare boots you, swap to a free tier Oracle Cloud VPS and set up an nginx proxy.
