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.

You can certainly do it with paths, but it's generally cleaner and easier to do subdomains. Some apps don't like paths without additional setup and/or reverse proxy configuration because they hard-code redirects to specific paths.
In some cases (if you are hosting services both internal and externally), you'll want to configure a split brain DNS (a local DNS server that resolves internal host to internal IPs and external DNS resolves to public IPs).
Yes there's some setup with that, but once you really get into it -- you'll start automating that :) I have a script that reads all of my Traefik http routers via the rest API and updates my unbound DNS server automagically.
