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 mean anything that is not hosted in your house. For example, dynamic dns, some type of ddos protection, off-site backups, external oauth provider, etc.

Fast Mail DNS because I moved my domain over there for email. Problem is that it doesn't have an API for DNS updates, and that makes it bad for DynDNS. There are some web scraping libraries out there that can work for it, but those can easily break any time FastMail changes their interface.

For now, I'm just using the fact that my IP doesn't change that often, and living with the fact that I'll have to manually update it at some point.

Plenty of better DNS services out there...
