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.

Thanks, I can follow and understand the first two paragraphs. That feels like my preferred option for now.
Don't understand your third paragraph. Any good resources you can point me to for learning?
Thanks!
A jump host is just a system that serves as an exit point into the restricted network. You can do this with Ubuntu desktop but you need to figure out how you are going to jump into your host. Others have mentioned tail scale and head scale as options for doing this. Tailscale would be an example of an agent based adhoc vpn solution; this would place a dependency on an external provider to host a connection broker service and use an agent that periodically checks into the broker service for connection requests. Headscale would be the self hosted option and you would need to forward a port into your network and you should guard it with a reverse proxy.
Great, understood. Thanks a lot!
