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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

How does my DNS know where to look for this?
you rent a domain
in the config (provided by the service where you rented the domain) you set it to point to the IP of the device where you run caddy
the service tells the relevant global DNS servers your setting
your DNS does a DNS lookup and a DNS server returns the IP you configured it to point to
Depending on the DNS you use, you can manually add entries to do 1-3 differently, but that will only work for devices that use your DNS and is hard.
Is this a local address or a public IP address?
I just want the resolving internal to my network but I never got it working right.
I've got the external IP addresses down pat. I'm with you in that I've never quite figured out how to do the same with local IP addresses.
