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.

I would like to be able to give people an URL and have them be able to access my service.

Example I have overseerr currently funneled so when the go to url pcname.tail$$$$$.ts.net they are greeted with overseerr. But if I funneled another service at pcname.tail$$$$$.ts.net/immich for example it does nothing just blank loading but the url knows it should be Immich or another service (I can put the url pcname.tail$$$$$.ts.net/immich in the immich app and have it work). I have tried reversing them so I believe I can not set paths after .net..

Am I doing something wrong or is this not supported?

It can be done but I’d advice to rather set up a reverse proxy and funnel that. Then set up your reverse proxy accordingly.

Issue with the funnel is that its reverse proxy is a bit limited in rewriting. So if your service has a native url of 127.0.0.1:8000/service1 then you serve it under /service1

If you have several services that expects to be served at root you might find it difficult to do this way. Some services might have “url/path” option in config for this purpose. In that case you enter the url you want to use for your service and it will behave.

Ok thanks I will check to see if they have a url/path option.

Do you have a suggestion on a service to set up my own reverse proxy?

I like caddy for flexibility and ease with handle_parh. I believe there was some example on the tailscale website for a tcp caddy proxy.

Some sites cant be rewritten and have to be served on their expected path. Like some http file will refer to a css or something with absolute path.

Also you can get chatgpt or similar help you and ask it to explain whats being done and why. Just be stern and let it know what you’re using for software + versions. They know a lot of old shit too these LLMs

Perhaps you can rewrite but that would have to include both ways + html source.

Best bet is serve at what path it prefers or can be configured to
