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 don't really have anyone else to shout at about this, but it's an amazing way to host services in rootless containers entirely in user space using systemd (systemctl --user).

If you want to use caddy as proxy for other containers running as quadlets have a look at this repo: https://github.com/eriksjolund/podman-caddy-socket-activation

It certainly demystified some network shenanigans for me.

Just want to chime in here to say I use containerized caddy as a reverse proxy with quadlets and did nothing special.

If you have caddy as a reverse proxy inside podman user namespace separated networks, they don't take the upstream client IP address and instead you get local IP addresses assigned to logs. Socket activation is kinda required if you want to get the client's real IP address in your logs.
