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.

you don’t even need to think about letsencrypt

Do you know if it's just as friction-less to have a self signed cert up with Caddy for internal use? I was using Nginx PM recently and had the need to serve https but I can't use letsencrypt because it's not public-facing. Nginx PM only has letsencrypt as an option.

I wish there was a checkbox that just deployed a self-signed cert without bothering with the details (it's 2024 ffs, HTTPS should be 1 click away, whether that's self-signed or not).

I'm using a self signed CA for my home network with caddy. You just set it up to use a ca once and afterwards it just works. So yeah, really easy.

Iirc you can upload your own certificates and keys in npm, you'll just have to manage the CA manually or with some other tool.
