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.

Almost forgot before going to bed but I feel bi-weekly is a good rhythm for this.

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

If you want to have domains assigned to local IP addresses, you can also use Pihole as a local DNS! It's a very nice tool for adblocking on network level anyways, can only recommend it.

Awesome thank you, this is what I ended up setting up today. It's a bit of an awkward solution for now, I would very much like to use it for its ad blocking functionality but I'm unsure if I want to make it my only DNS provider while I'm still migrating services over to the mini PC and messing with the server config. I had set up Pihole years ago and my wife ran into problems using some apps on her phone so I think I'd need to be more proactive about making sure that's working this time around too.

I get that, I plan to add another pihole ad some point so I can enter 2 nameservers at my router. There are solutions to sync all config between the piholes.
