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.

I just came across headscale...looks kinda neat. The docs have me a bit scared though - from the Installation section: "Configure Headscale by editing the configuration file"...uhm ya I'll just go configure all of the things to do all of the stuff, hehe.
Use chat gpt to help you install it , I used it sometimes and it help me to understand it a lot.
Chatgpt is a camp for just YOLOing off into some new software. Unless it is after the knowledge cutoff it's pretty accurate about configurations and such. It makes mistakes but it'll get you started a lost faster.
What I notice also is that if you keep feeding it with info about your problem and have discussion it will eventually figure it out.
Most of the time I just copy/paste the terminal output and say 'it didn't work' and it'll come back with 'I'm sorry, I meant [new command]'.
It isn't something that I'd trust to run unattended terminal commands (yet) but it is very good when you're just like 'Hey, I want to try to install pihole today, how do I install and configure it', or 'Here's my IP Tables entry, why can't I connect to this service' ... 'Ok give me the commands to update the entry to do whatever it was you just said'.
Good idea...I just it a bunch for other stuff but hadn't thought to use it for this. Thanks!
