For a two click solution: YunoHost
Disclaimer: I didn't try it out myself.
I am currently using yunohost.
I report that it works out of the box within the local network.
Is it basicly a docker alternative?
In some way yes, but Docker is containerization engine, which can be used to selfhost stuff. Yunohost is special OS for selfhosting and only selfhosting. Apps installed using Yunohost are not containerized, and they are made for easy deployment.
it is easy to use outside the network too. I use Yunohost for more than a 1 year
currently struggling to make use of zerotier to do that.
all the DNS stuff is like magic for me.
Did you take the route via a fixed IP and a bought domain?
Yunohost provides free domains (nohost.me, ynh.fr or noho.st) with Dynamic DNS, but i bought domain in Gandi. I use this simple script https://github.com/cichy1173/yunoDnsUpdater to update DNS if IP changes. I am thinking about buying fixed IP, but it is additional cost every month.
yes I know about the domains but port forwarding at my router is yet to be impossible for me. also I am unsure if I am ready to open my network to the outside yet.
do you rely on the built in safety measures or do you have additional security measures implemented?
