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.

CDN is not self-hosting, first of all.

Second, why would you even want this setup?

I currently (until I eventually get around to setting up a jump sever) use this exact setup. This is because CF tunnel is free, easy, and bypasses any ISP-level tomfoolery that blocks port forwarding, which the last being the most crucial to me.

I will eventually get around to setting up my own equivalent tunnel, however that's not free and not as easy as CF tunnel.

Iirc the cloudflare proxy hides your true IP address
