I know for many of us every day is selfhosting day, but I liked the alliteration. Or do you have fixed dates for maintenance and tinkering?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

This post is proudly sent from my very own Lemmy instance that runs at my homeserver since about ten days. So far, it’s been a very nice endeavor.

    Non SSL behind your ingress proxy is acceptable professionally in most circumstances, assuming your network is properly segmented it’s not really a big deal.

    Self-signing and adding the CA is a bit of a pain in the ass and adds another unnecessary layer for failure in a home network.

    If it really grinds your gears you could issue yourself a real wild card cert from lets encrypt then at DNS names with that wild card on your local DNS server with internal IPs, but to auto renew it you’re going to have to do some pretty decent DNS work.

    To be honest I’ve scrapped most of my reverse proxies for a nice tailscale network. Less moving parts, encrypted end-to-end.

      Thanks! I initially considered going the wildcard route until i saw the workload involved for my host! There does seem to exist autorenewal programs for the largest hosts out there but i’m trying to support my local businesses so it’s unfortunately out of of my scope at the moment, but i’ll checkout your suggestion and see what tailscale has to offer!
