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.

For folks that are unable to port forward on the local router (eg CGNAT) I made this post on doing it via a VPS. I've scoured the internet and didn't find a complete guide.

surely better than Google

This contradicts your threat model comment, though. If you fear Google's access to your data, you fear nation states, or hate Google. Cloudflare is in the same boat for size, scope, and US ownership.

Obviously I'm not avoiding it all together, but I'm taking a step in the right direction.

And it's not just replacing Google by CF, because CF has much less access in comparison as I explain.

you can deploy some zero trust models in your setup, and eliminate the threat even further. for example end to end encryption

Oh yes, wasn't trying to say it was a bad decision at all. If it fits your threat model, and it makes life easier, it's probably the right choice.
