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:

  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 host my own web server with a domain name I purchased but my public IP isn't static.

I've been using freedns.afraid.org for about a year now.

I've also been on freedns.afraid.org for many years. Back when I switched from dyndns, it wasn't possible to get Let's Encrypt certificates on afraid.org's domains, but that might have changed. I worked around it by taking a domain I already owned and using a CNAME to point it at my afraid.org domain.

I use Let's Encrypt on my domains, but they're domains that my afraid.org subdomains point to.
