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.

Total noob, but I set up TrueNAS/Nextcloud on an old laptop and it's working great locally.

What would be the easiest secure way to access my files remotely from my phone and/or laptop?

True, but then Tailscale needs to be installed on the remote device to connect. A Cloudflare Tunnel and Application can be accessed by pretty much any device. This was more appropriate for my use case. YMMV, of course.

For me it's all about use case.

I use cloudflare tunnels for programs exposed to the open web (Nextcloud, Radicale, etc).

But I use tailscale for anything not, then I use tailscale (RD client, KDE Connect, Sonarr, etc) because it's way too simple.
