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:

  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.

Was rather shocked to find BT hubs don't allow you to change DNS servers anymore and force you to use their own ones, so I can't properly setup adguard.

What routers are people using now that are reliable and will let me control my own network configuration

I bought a cheapish small PC with 4 Nics and ran pfsense for a long time, that's your best best. I've ended up with a Ubiquiti Dream Machine, less time to tinker and higher need for production with working from home

ubiquiti are too sales-pushy imo

Ive never bought from them in a professional sense, but I also work with sales, so my bar for pushy is higher than many.

I had an old unifi ap in a box, after flashing the latest firmware half the features disappeared (or started requiring a cloud key / some other shitty upsell)

the hw was perfectly capable of ipv6 dhcp relaying or whatever it was, just locked behind a different price tier + another physical device

fuck em
