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.

For folks that are unable to port forward on the local router (eg CGNAT) I made this post on doing it via a VPS. I've scoured the internet and didn't find a complete guide.

In most environments ipv6 bypasses cgnat (because, why would you need a nat with ipv6).

Like I said ip6 is useless when it comes to torrenting. Even if the tracker supports it it's not persavive with users connecting to you.

The general topic was about self-hosting. IPv6 is very useful for self-hosting,.. connections.

I'll admit there is a critical mass problem with torrenting clients, but if you're trying to set up a wire guard tunnel with your friends, IPv6 is a absolute banger
