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.

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.

Any service I have that is public facing is proxied through Cloudflare. I run a firewall on the host that only allows traffic from Cloudflare IPs. Those IPs are updated via a cron job that calls this script: https://github.com/Paul-Reed/cloudflare-ufw I also have a rule set up in Cloudflare that blocks traffic from other countries.
For WAF, I use modsecurity with nginx. It can be a little time consuming to set up and weed out false positives, but it works really well when you get it configured properly.
Some of my applications are set up with Cloudflare Access. I use this with Azure AD free tier and SAML, but it could be set up with self hosted solutions like authentik.
Is everyone using Cloudflare?
Pretty much, strange in the self-hosted community to have stuff like that happen.
cloudflare is sweet I just switched to there from Google domains and it feels like a billion options have just opened up
also the https security radio buttons I always forget to change in new sites
