Self-hosting with subdomains
jackdavies.github.io
If like me you have several self hosted services, one challenge you may face is having a easy way to access them, this can be extra challenging if you have a single non fixed IP address.

I created a short tutorial on using sub domains to access services hosted within my home network, thought I would share it here in case anyone finds it useful

This is the first time I’ve made a technical tutorial so apologise if there are mistakes/its confusing, feedback will be appreciated

    I am once again recommending that you not expose any services to the internet except a VPN

      Good as a general recommendation.

      I also feel like the risk levels are very different. If it’s something that performs a function but doesn’t save/serve any custom data (e.g. bentopdf), that’s a lot easier to decide to do than something complicate like Jellyfin.

      I do have public addresses for Matrix, overleaf, AppFlowy, immich because they would be much less useful otherwise. Haven’t had any problems yet, but wouldn’t necessarily recommend it to others.

      I’d never host any stuff with “Linux ISOs” on a public adress, that seems like it’d be looking for trouble.
