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.

Actually the networking stuff is terribly important for selfhosting.
I recommend a different approach than most other commenters: buy two small WiFi routers and install openwrt there. Check here that the new devices support openwrt: https://openwrt.org/toh/start
Then go through some of the tutorials and forum examples about openwrt. Most of them are very good. You are going to learn the basics as well as some fun things you can do with networking/routing, and also much about network security.
Your selfhosting will become so much easier then.
Oh I've never heard about openwrt, but it sounds interesting. I'll check it out, thanks!
