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.

Do you have a VPS or server with its own IPv4 address outside your home?
If you want I can maybe help you with configuring my new tool/service to replace Cloudflare Tunnels
But it depends on how you use it also, if you want to explain that send me a reply or a private message and I can answer if I think it is possible and give you the basic configuration for it, or check out the project and its sources I posted here
Does your tool have a public repo I can take a look at?
No, no public repo, no repo at all tbh, only the public code posted at the cloud drive, but the code is fully inspectable in the drive and there are no compiled binaries (you must compile it yourself to use it)
No shade on you, dude... but if it's not available in a public repo where people with more experience than me have the opportunity to validate and review it... then I'm really really really not interested in downloading or running it on my machine.
I have trust issues with cloudflare yes, but I also have trust issues with random zip files from strangers' cloud drives.
I appreciate your helpful attitude anyway 🙂
No worries, I understand
There are just text files there anyway
I'm pretty much just sharing my public backup with everyone, it is the only thing I need when deploying it, maybe someone else uploads it to some repo one day!
I have written a small blog post about how to Bypass CGNAT, and have also mentioned why you should not use Cloudflare if you are hosting for privacy.
