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:

  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.

EDIT: Thanks so much guys! This was really helpful, and I didn't imagine so many would help out!

Hey guys,

I've used PiHole for over a year now, and I really like it. I use it with WireGuard, so I always have my DNS blocker with me.

But I've wondered if I even have some good lists? I used some standard lists from a reddit thread when I set up my PiHole, and I've never looked at it since.

So what blocklists do you use? Something you can recommend?

Also, if you use Blocky or AdGuard, do you find it better than PiHole?

I've had good luck with iSponsorBlockTV [1] for skipping/muting ads on our LG TV Youtube app and has Samsung Tizen on their supported list.

For my iPhone I do a combination of self-hosted Piped [2] exposed through Tailscale [3] with Yattee [4]. Both Piped and Yattee work with Sponsorblock and can be customized to see 0 ads.

Tailscale is useful since your phone/ipad/piped are on the same Tailnet regardless of location and you can stream from anywhere there's an Internet connection.

You can also swap out components; eg Invidious instead of Piped or your own Wireguard setup instead of Tailscale.
