Hi all,

I started self hosting nextcloud only. Now I have a domain name and I would like to selfhost more services and websites on subdomains without having to open up more ports on my router.

  1. Is it reasonable to use a reverse proxy server to avoid opening up more ports?
  2. Can I use a reverse proxy manager that simplifies SSL certs, etc?
  3. Can I put the HTTP/HTTPS services behind a reverse proxy, behind a free cloudflare DNS proxy to mask my IP address?
  4. And put other non-http services on the real IP address.
  5. Will all of this be more prone to failure and slow compared to forwarding 443 and 80 directly to my nextcloud server?

The other services I would like to eventually host and have accessible externally are

  • Jitsi
  • Mastodon instance (hoping to make some bots that mirror other social media to bring them into Mastodon)
  • blog website
  • Veilid maybe
  • OpenVPN over TCP on 443 (to get through restrictive firewalls on e.g. school wifi networks that don't whitelist domains)
  • Synology to Synology backup.

I'm hoping to use Yunohost on a RPI to simplify hosting a lot of these things.

Here's my plan where I'm looking for feedback. Am I missing any steps? Are my assumptions correct?

  1. Install reverse proxy on yunohost; configure cloudflare DNS and freedns.afraid.org to point towards the reverse DNS server.
  2. Configure the reverse DNS to redirect various subdomains to
  • the raspberry pi running nextcloud
  • the other raspberry pi running openvpn
  • the Synology running the backup service
  • services running on the yunohost raspberry pi

I have not been able to find good documentation about how to configure the yunohost reverse proxy, or how to deal with HTTP headers, or have correct certificates on all the subdomains as well as the reverse proxy. Looking for advice on how to move forward and or simply this setup.

I guess I'm wondering who will hire the people to do that work? I assume a company that is allowed to have profit will be able to offer higher wages to be competitive

That reminds me of REI in America. They're technically a member-owned co-op, but they're definitely a huge corporation making buckets for somebody, probably the leadership. So a non profit version of that

I wonder who is disproportionately sent to jail...?

That makes sense to me

I am just wondering who would do all the work of warehousing, distributing, etc., if there was no profit motive.

Yeah but you don't have to stay in that room. You have freedom.

One time I accidentally said a kid's name on a 2-way radio, and we were not supposed to use their names over the airwaves.

I'm not sure if I had critics thought, it was just a mistake

If it's a fine then it's effectively only illegal for poor people -- unless the fine scales with wealth

Wouldn't that just push sales into the black market? Unless the government nationalized the sale of cigarettes, which seems... not great, if they believe in smoking cessation

 
 

I see there is also a 'selfhosted' community that is more broad than tailscale
