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 reside in an apartment complex where the internet services are not controlled by the management, but instead, they are managed by our ISP, Telcom. Unfortunately, Telcom restricts certain functionalities for users, such as not helping with the opening of ports or providing the admin username/password for my router. Additionally, my router doesn't appear on the network tab of file explorer. Given this situation, what options do I have to address these limitations to port forward?

The better way to go about it is using Cloudflare tunnels or Tailscale.

Tailscale will walk right past those ISP restrictions like a ghost passing through a wall.

I can confirm, because I use Tailscale on my GL.iNet travel router, which is connected behind a router I have no access to. I'm able to access all my services anywhere in the world
