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.

Port management redirects to privacy settings? That's not right. I've had google routers for like 5 years now and multiple family members also have them. Most reliable routers I've owned to date, haven't had a need to upgrade
Also you can host multiple services through the same port. This is typically done through port 443, using a reverse proxy
The app is saying that it can't communicated with the device, and the Wifi is working fine, so It seems to be an app issue rather than a device issue. Do you have any insights?
I haven’t had a Google router in a while so I don’t remember if it’s possible, but can you access the router settings via a browser using the router’s IP address (maybe something like 192.168.0.1)?
While you should probably fix your router, there are some workarounds that can work. If you have your own domain, cloudflare tunnels are really great. Similar option that doesn’t need a domain but requires a VPS or other hosting with a public IP is just a WireGuard tunnel to your service.
Contact Google support, I have no trouble port forwarding using the home app, other than their app is a bit cumbersome.
