I just bought an actual domain and use that 😅

As an added bonus, letsencrypt works with no effort.

same. saved my ass already a few times when doing some reverseengineering voodoo. being able to set a valid https cert makes it easier to redirect apps than to bypass forced HTTPS. had to pretend to be a update server for something once and patching the URL was enough via getting a cert quickly (using DNS-01 challenge, no exposed ports ever)

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.
