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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I suppose you are dependent on their infrastructure and uptime

AFAIK their infra is only used for configuring the VPN. The VPN itself is a regular peer-to-peer Wireguard VPN. If their infra goes down while a VPN tunnel is connected, the tunnel should keep working. I've never tested that, though.

You can self-host your own Headscale server to avoid using their infra.
