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.

Hey friends. I finally fired nextcloud - and so should you.

edit: wow. reddit banned me for posting a link to my (completely unmonitezed, unproductized) blog in multiple r/selfhosted threads. I bet it's related to this lemmy link

You use a mesh vpn with a reverse proxy? How does that work?

I run opencloud containers straight on my NAS server running ubuntu LTS, I then expose container ports on tailscale only, and then I route it via nginx proxy manager through my public VPS via tailscale.

I'm not sure. Is it public facing or not? What's the mesh vpn for?

and so should you.

Why should I? I couldn't read it in the post. I use nextcloud because its easy and it has caldav which I use nextcloud 50% for. The other 50 percent is thinking I have a cloud if I someday need one.

I do something similar I use Pangolin (Which is an EXCELLENT project) as a self hosted alternative to cloudflareD tunels. I host it on a public VPS and then thru it tunnel web traffic to my public resources, that way I don't have to expose my IP or have a static. Then I also use netbird as an overlay network not only to access my servers remotely but also to "join" two sites via a VPN (Backup server at my mom's)

That sounds like you use the mesh vpn for managing the server, e.g. ssh, and you've got a server at home and route all traffic via the vps to hide your ip. Do i get it right?

OP's setting sounded like he's exposing his stuff publicly after routing through mesh vpn

[–] EpicFailGuy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

correct, it also has the benefit of allowing my IP to change without impacting public or private access.

I really hate those posts with the "you should..." part. Let people use whatever they want.
