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.

A reverse proxy needs you to forward ports 80 and 443, unfortunately.
Not when used with Tailscale. You can put Tailscale on the VPS and on your home server, put Nginx on the VPS and point it to the Tailscale address for the desired service with your desired subdomain.
Voila, Nginx is serving your content through the Tailscale tunnel without edits to your home network. If Tailscale works, then this will work.
Cool, nice.
Maybe nginx does, but cloudflared does not, as far as I know (since it's an outbound tunnel). I haven't ever had to open any ports for cloudflared. However, it obviously requires you to use cloudflare.
A little searching seems like Cloudflare ~~Argo~~ tunnels might be a good route to try. And possibly free, though I'm not opposed to paying for a better service. There seems to be a fair amount of step by step documentation on this. I'll demo this on my lab as I haven't moved it to the new apartment yet.
Yep, should be free unless you want more firewall features!
