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.

But does port forwarding work for you, can you access your servers from outside your network?
If not, it's probably carrier-grade NAT. There are several ways to fix this:
Dynamic IP is one that changes. I think you meant static IP.
No, I specifically meant dynamic, because most ISPs only give static IPv4 for business plans, and a dynamic IP is fine if you use a dynamic DNS service (the Fritzbox has one).
If you don't have a static IP then you will automatically have a dynamic one. You don't need to ask for a dynamic IP as that is the default. And I'm no idiot, I've used dynamic DNS services for for over 20 years.
There is also Carrier Grade NAT, which basically means that you share an IP with other customers, so if you try to access your network from the outside, you will only end up at your ISP's router, where the network is divided up for a group of customers.
