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.

My ISP doesn't give a Public IP and let me open ports without paying a extra fee, which I cannot afford rn. I host all my services on a old PC, Anyways that i can access my services beyond my LAN?

Yeah a reverse proxy would be a really easy way to do it. Assuming whatever your trying to expose will work with one.

But for traffic like a game server or something else that doesn't use the traditional http protocol you could also setup the VPS as more of a router/NAT if you wanted.

Although that said I think NGINX can do a proxy stream that will work with most TCP/UDP connections no matter the protocol, I haven't ever done it so I can't say how universal that works.
