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.

From outside? Set up a Cloudflare account and point the NS from your registrar to it.
From inside? Set up unbound on a docker host and don't open it to the internet. Use that one when you're local and the normal public DNS when you're outside. But everything I'm seeing in here makes me sure you shouldn't even consider opening ports in your firewall to expose inside host services. Use a VPN when you're roaming, and only use your DNS for local servers/hosts via that VPN. The only use for your outside domain name should be to point a single hostname to your outside IP address so you can use it for your VPN endpoint.
Use DNS challenges for LetsEncrypt cert requests and remove host entries from your Cloudflare after you get your cert.
