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.

I used a GL.iNet Opal to do exactly this while travelling.
Got one today and it's literally exactly what I wanted! Thank you!
It can even spoof MAC address, so I don't use an extra spot on my client whitelist 👌
Looks promising, I'll get one and check it out. Thanks
Came here to recommend the gl.inet range. Folks love em on cruise ships for the same purpose as what you want.
I'm tempted to bring one with me to a hotel so I can bring a wifi enabled camera to watch my gear too, and not have to set it up with the wifi. If you need to authorise it with a web portal, often what you do is you connect with your phone (turn off random MAC), authorise on the phone, then connect to the gl.inet and have it spoof your phone's Mac.
They can also support VPN too.
I've got a gl.iNet Mango that I bought on a whim a long time ago. I haven't needed to use it much, but I like how it's cheap and tiny and cute and runs OpenWRT from the factory. It's definitely endeared me to that brand.
