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:
-
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.

Umm... Not sure if you are serious but knowledge is meant to be shared so... A reverse proxy isn't really for convenience, it sits between two networks and proxies traffic according to specific rules. It also has the benefit of masking the origin server a bit (like its IP) and in a lot of cases can be used as a way to ensure traffic going to a server or service that doesn't support transport encryption actually transverses the internet within a secure tunnel.
Yes, that’s why I said mostly. In this context reverse proxy is being used to access different ports via 80/443 from outside. That is not necessarily the use case you’re mentioning.
