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.

The domain certificate is public and its key is private? That's basically it, if anyone gets access to your key, they can sign with your name and generate certificates without your knowledge. That's my opinion and the main reason why I wouldn't have a self hosted CA, maybe I'm wrong or misled, but it's a lot of work to ensure everything is safe, only for a self hosted setup.
