Thinking of self-hosting some basic tools; SearxNG, Bitwarden, Lemmy.
What kind of tools are you self-hosting right now? Which ones are easy to manage, which ones are awkward? 👀

I get my hosting for free from my workplace, which is cool but doesn't give me much leeway on what I can install. It's a plain PHP/MySQL system. Docker is out, and a lot of stuff with it. I'd run a server from apartment if I could, since I'm sitting on piles of old hardware, but I've yet to figure a way around my ever-changing IP address.
Right now, I have FreshRSS and my own websites, and Rss Bridge
I'd love to run more "Old School Tools", I just need to find them :)
I haven't played with it yet, and I know some people don't like Cloudflare, but a Cloudflare tunnel to your apartment infra might just do what you want.
Oh neat! I'm looking into it right now!
Back before I had a static IP and an new awesome ISP, I was able to run a script on my router that would just update IP with my host name service when it changed. I hosted my own apps for years like that it was never an issue.
I had luck setting up a dynamic DNS provider like no-ip and then setting up cloudflare's DNS to point requests to my domain at the no-ip domain name. It'd only be a problem for the windows that your IP has changed, but your dynamic DNS provider hasn't updated yet.
I'd only use it for tools for my own use in any case, 100% uptime wouldn't be important. Your technique seems like a great lead.
