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.

For folks that are unable to port forward on the local router (eg CGNAT) I made this post on doing it via a VPS. I've scoured the internet and didn't find a complete guide.

Idk man, it seems pretty irresponsible to me to write a blogpost with stuff that you got from ChatGPT without understanding it. People will assume that if you wrote a blogpost on this then you know what you're doing. ChatGPT gets stuff wrong all the time, and we're talking about firewall configuration here. If it misconfigured some stuff it could leave you and your readers vulnerable to all kinds of shit.

In this case it seems to me that (luckily) there's just a bunch of redundant routing, but the next time it could be leaking your and your readers' torrent traffic out of the VPN tunnel, leaving you vulnerable to legal repercussions for piracy.

Please don't authoritatively post stuff that you got from the automatic bullshit generator without understanding it.

I understand what you mean. It's become a habit of mine lately, and I learn lots in the discussion to.

In my defence I did run some tests and confirm it's functioning.

Look at the very least you should write in the blogpost clearly which parts are generated by LLMs, so your readers can decide whether to trust them.
