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'm wondering if I'm starting to outgrow Tailscale... my wife keeps having networking issues on Android due to Tailscale, the Nvidia Shield kills the Tailscale app randomly, and my parents' TV doesn't have a Tailscale app...

I feel like the time is approaching to publicly expose some of my services to the internet...

Any other tips?

I've had a pretty good experience with it aside from this recent problem with my phone - Pixel 8 Pro. It's a big deal right now - I have a number of self hosted services I use on my phone accessed through a shared subnet via tailscale. When I left it enabled, multiple times a day I'd lose connectivity entirely. It would get fixed if I just quickly disable-enable it... at least until it randomly happens again in an hour or two. I started using spit tunneling, which I think fixed the connectivity issue for internet-dependent apps but nothing I tried fixed calls and texts.

Unfortunately, my mother has been having a number of health issues so there is no fucking way I'm going to risk missing calls and texts...so I just deal with being disconnected from my servers for now. I really wish there was a solution or something I could do to figure out what's going wrong. I can't keep trying random things and risk it. Calls from my mother are virtually the only calls I get, other than spam.
