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 a product is free, you’re the product.
While I normally agree on #2, it doesnt really apply to Tailscale. Tailscale isn’t completely free, they have a free tier to generate business but it’s limited to 3 users per tailnet. Also its cryptographically impossible for them to snoop on your traffic.
I was referring to OP’s use of IPQuick. This isn’t a service I’m familiar with and it doesn’t seem to be affiliated with any organization that I’m familiar with either.
