I use Wireguard to access all that from outside my network. This way, my mail server only exposes smtp.
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.

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).

I'm self-hosting my mail server for all kinds of neat tricks, like turning mailing lists into RSS feeds and putting attached bills in the right folder. But it is tricky to pull off, because 90% of all email is spam so you must take that seriously because otherwise nobody will accept you mail. One thing I learned quickly is not to use PGP. They almost always and up in spam boxes.
I switched from radicale to baikal because vdirsyncer (which I then used) didn't agree with radicale on the caldav standard. And I'm very happy with Filestash. It's fast and does the only thing I need it do do, stash files.
BTW I used to use NextCloud, but that was way too much work and I really like tools that do just one thing and do it well.

All subdomains on apache proxies.. its a bit of a mess though. Whenever it comes to update something I can never remember how I installed it. Theres a heady mix of script installs, deb installs, source installs. I've got Gitea ready to update but I have no idea what method I used to install it :')
These comments inspire me so much to get back into my self-hosting. Right now, I'm running
Raspberry 4 No.1 (HassOS)
Raspberry 4 No.2 (Ubuntu LTS)
Fileserver custom built (Ubuntu LTS, local only):
Raspberry 4 No.3 (Raspian, local only)
Interesting, I have an Unraid server that does all of these in one. Whats the benefit of splitting them like that?
My general rule is to not self host things that are good enough / free (as in $$ not FOSS). So I don't host email or music. I'm not a huge music person so spotify does the job, and gmail's been great since it started.

What's the performance of Frigate like on an N5095? I've got a J5105 that I'm tempted to use for a few of my cameras, but worried I'll be wasting my time.
