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.

I use a reverse proxy (caddy), and point a domain at my machine.ts-domain.ts.net which hosts caddy
this way I can go to service.my.domain instead of machine:port as long as I’m connected to tailscale. any devices not on my tailscale network just get bounced if they hit the domain
You have a CNAME record that points service.my.domain to machine-that-hosts-caddy.ts-domain.ts.net, and with tailscale enable it hits the caddy server and then reverse proxies it to the machine:port of "service"? Which may or may not be the tailscale IP address and port?
Basically yeah.
CNAME points my.domain to *.machine-that-hosts-caddy.my-ts-domain.ts.net
caddy running on that machine directs subdomains to machine:port pairs, where “machine” is either the tailscale name or IP for the machine hosting the service
Thanks!
If you have a domain, you could setup split brain dns.
Just setup a second page in heimdall with Tailscale friendly links. Duplicate what you already have setup and then update links.
I know I wrote tailscale friendly, but the same applies to zerotier, Cloudflared, and dyndns, I guess...
