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.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Let's encrypt doesn't have to be accessible from the web, it accesses the web itself. It's a subtly difference i guess, but you don't need port forwarding or anything. Of course if your jellyfin/immich service is completely blocked from going out on the internet then it still won't work.
I don't think that's true. But Let's encrypt does need to verify the domain name. If it's just a domain you made up in your LAN that is an issue yes. But I have no experience with that though.
You could use self-signed certificates, they are free. but you would need to add custom trusted CA to all the user devices manually. I've never done this myself so no clue how troublesome this really is.
What I do is have a reverse proxy that requests a wildcard certificate (e.g '*.example.com') with Let's encrypt. And then route all my services through the reverse proxy with subdomains. You can get free domains with duckdns.org or others.
