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.

I have embedded a link into the title where a person is frustrated with Cloudflare.

I'm interested in knowing the extent of their telemetry and data collection. The user alleges that Cloudflare collects cookies from visitors when one visits a website using their proxy + CDN?

Just to be transparent: I'm not looking to use Cloudflare, I'm going to use my own setup with a VPS, however it is important to know about such technologies, especially since I work in IT.

On normal proxy they shouldn't be able, on protected pages they can get the one previously set for the interstitial page for DDoS or login protection (nobody would like to enter a CAPTCHA on every single load)
