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.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

There's something called NAT reflection that does a local lookup if the request originated in the internal network and avoids going via the external route. Some software for routers like ONPSense and/or PFSense support it (but I wouldn't be surprised if DD-WRT, Tomato, etc supported it as well (its been a while since I used them)).
It might work better of your DNS provider supports API based challenges vs traditional ACME challenges that might require you to still expose your IP/challenge ports with public DNS to get your certificates.
All my internal DNS has the option of SSL certs while my IP is not on any public DNS and it routes to the internal IPs with the above. Not sure how that would work with wireguard or tailacale/headscale, but I'm assuming they probably could complement nicely.
