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.

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.

Use mTLS (mutual TLS) also called client certificates with nginx or whatever your webserver is
mtls over nginx is the simplest way. but be aware that while it works great on desktop browsers, other reduced browsers (incl mobile) often don't support it.
It works on Android using Chromium based browsers too. You have to install your client certificate in the Android Settings. When you visit the site using a chromium based browser, it will ask you to verify yourself using the installed certificate. I used to use it in the past
Unfortunately it doesn't work with Firefox on Android. Don't know anything about iOS
