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.

Any recommendation for a cheap, small #firewall for my #homelab ? I realized I can’t control easily what goes out of my network only via DNS block lists

I bought this Protectli Vault FW2B , and installed OPNSense strictly for firewall since I don't control the router in my town home.

I used this guide to set up a transparent bridge so I can filter out traffic before it gets to the subnet my property manager assigned to me.

Setting it up was a great learning experience. One thing that was odd for me though, was that I had to change the label of the interfaces in the ui to match the label on the hardware.
