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.

Due to having to expose local developments (in progress) publicly to interact with other third party services or to show them to other programmers I usually use ngrok in the free tier... Which is an absolute mess because it changes the URL on each command (nevertheless it works out of the box and very fast)...

I have also tried Localtunnel which it's great but hangs a lot. Anybody knows any self-hosted solution that giving a domain of my own can I expose via tunnels in subdomains?

Why not just let your local server through the firewall? Alternatively, I've used ssh -R for something like this before.

i have heard good things about https://github.com/pgrok/pgrok . also they have a link to huge list of various tunnels - maybe you will find something you need there.

Could Tailscale work? You just need to host your own server using headscale if you don’t want to use their hosted solution.

I'd quite like an answer to this too for work reasons.
