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.

Non SSL behind your ingress proxy is acceptable professionally in most circumstances, assuming your network is properly segmented it's not really a big deal.
Self-signing and adding the CA is a bit of a pain in the ass and adds another unnecessary layer for failure in a home network.
If it really grinds your gears you could issue yourself a real wild card cert from lets encrypt then at DNS names with that wild card on your local DNS server with internal IPs, but to auto renew it you're going to have to do some pretty decent DNS work.
To be honest I've scrapped most of my reverse proxies for a nice tailscale network. Less moving parts, encrypted end-to-end.
Thanks! I initially considered going the wildcard route until i saw the workload involved for my host! There does seem to exist autorenewal programs for the largest hosts out there but i'm trying to support my local businesses so it's unfortunately out of of my scope at the moment, but i'll checkout your suggestion and see what tailscale has to offer!
