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:
-
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.

Often, if you try to go to a non-existent domain, it'll still return an IP address that loads a "this site doesn't exist" page hosted by the ISP, often full of sponsored links, similar to a domain parking page.
It's trivial to do this. DNS requests are unencrypted and can easily be modified by an ISP, even if you use a custom DNS server like Google's 8.8.8.8 or Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1. You need DNS over HTTPS or a similar technology to prevent this happening.
hijacking dns is also my provider's first action when you're late paying the bill. by ip or doh or a long-lived dns cache and you're still going, but anything looked-up via a 'regular' dns server goes nowhere. that gets you another 2-3 weeks until they deny the modem from even authenticating.
