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:

  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.

I just use wireguard that's built in to opnsense. Am I missing out on something ?

Tailscale "just works". Since I've set it up I've never really thought about using anything else. Adding new devices is seamless.

I've been using secret option 3- netbird. Kernel wireguard support, completely self hostable, and very active development.

I’ve been using Tailscale because I like the business model they’ve been pushing. They’ve also followed through with that, expanding what the free tier of their service offers instead of restricting it more.

Although possibly biased, Tailscale has a write up comparing the two and the conclusion is that both are good at accomplishing their goals. If you have a technology or business preference, it could mostly come down to that. https://tailscale.com/compare/zerotier/

Also a big fan of Tailscale. Works well out of the box and they have great documentation.

I'll also throw out its nice to see many of their articles comparing services don't end with a simple "We're better!" but a "pick whats best for your use case." Makes them look a lot better imo.

I can't believe I'm hearing so much support for non-selfhosted stuff. What's next, you're going to promote Plex?

I thought this was the selfhosted community

You can self-host Tailscale and Zerotier.

Also Plex is a staple of the self hosted community (though I prefer Jellyfin.) I'm wondering if they've confused self hosting and FOSS somehow

[–] lemming007@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Plex requires a third party account, therefore not selfhosted.

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The identity service is not self hosted then. But the rest of Plex literally is. You can self host Gitea and use a third party service like openID for authentication too if you want to. Just because you self host some things doesn’t mean you HAVE to self host EVERYTHING
