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.

If I can add to this ... what's the sort of etymology for the term. Why is it a reverse proxy exactly?
In the long long ago it was reasonably common (particularly on corporate or school/uni networks) to force all web traffic outbound from browsers through a proxy.
They'd then use these proxies to enforce policies (block sites basically) and often cache stuff too, important when internet connections sucked.
So generally proxies sit on the same network as the clients (browsers).
Reverse proxies sit on the same network as the servers.
Standard proxy is when your outgoing traffic is proxied through it. Reverse is when the incoming traffic is proxied.
Thanks!!
