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 would like to host my own web server with a domain name I purchased but my public IP isn't static.

If you only need public access to things like HTTP or SSH you don’t necessarily need to run dynamic ip and just setup Cloudflare Tunnels. So far I haven’t needed to put anything public that doesn’t run on the provided tunnels.

Where are the settings for these tunnels located in Cloudflare? I was looking around the website last night but didn't have any luck.

Look under the Zero Trust category and then once there you'll see another menu item called Access. There you'll find Tunnels, in addition to Tunnels you can add an Application in the same Access menu to create policies that only allow certain clients to connect.

It's confusing. I think they are under zero trust now

Cloudflare tunnels is the way to go for small self hosted content. You’re hiding behind their ddos protection and your IP / location remains hidden from end users.

Sort of? https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-apps/use-cases/rdp/ - I have no idea how to do it though.

I've had SSH and VNC sessions rendered in web pages with tunnels, but never RDP.

I would prefer to use TailScale (www.tailscale.com) for something like RDP though, much easier to configure / set up and again you're hiding behind their infrastructure.
