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.

Forget iptables. You have a broken Wireguard setup. Did you verify that you have the proper keys and that Wireguard is allowed though the firewall?
I have no idea how to properly manage the firewall with Hetzner. I've opened the ports on the Hetzner management page and I ran several iptables commands to allow traffic from those ports. Still doesn't work. This is weird!
What firewall are you using in the VPS? It will likely be firewalld or ufw
Does iptables count as a firewall? You said that I should "forget" iptables. Is it that bad? It came preinstalled on the VPS. Should I switch? And if so, how?
Iptables is the low level mechanism that handles network routing. Firewall software just takes it up a layer so you can manage it without crazy long commands
Alright, sounds good. What firewall are you recommending me to use? I would like to use a firewall that's easy to manage.
Edit: I went with
ufw
.Sorry I didn't mean you should go out and create a firewall. (Although that's a good idea) I mean there is a issue with either your connectivity or your Wireguard config.
