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.

I've done something similar in Ireland, where ISP router was the only way to connect. Managed to setup everything on OpenWRT router, but it kept disconnecting, so I put openwrt router behind ISP router.
Interesting thing I found in ISP router is DMZ host - just point it to your own router and that's it. Basically ISP router doesn't exist lol.
Then you have absolute freedom with your router.
I ran like this for years. As long as you have DMZ/exposed host functionality everything works great. The only thing that needed some massaging was IPv6, but if you want/need that, you probably know enough about it to get it working.
“Double NAT” is a bit of a bugbear in the home lab community, but as long as you can port forward in bulk you should not even notice it, aside from a tiny bit of additional latency.
