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.

For local DNS
home.arpais I think what we're 'supposed' to use, but I use .lanOnly use another domain name if you actually have it registered, like
myname.netor something. As a bonus you can then get a wildcard letsencrypt SSL cert for easy HTTPS.Why should you only use ones you own, even if it's just local network?
Because of interference with existing domains. Say you set a computer on your network to
mypc.google.com, that won't work because the DNS server will lookup google.com as an external domain.
