Isn't this a problem that people solve using overlay networks[1]?
Most P2P systems use things like DHTs to relate IP addresses to the overlay network's addressing protocol so encrypted routing can be done over the internet.
It shouldn't be too hard to self host a service but the caveat is that you'd have to access it through whatever P2P network you choose. As an example, it'd be easy to host your own services through a Tor hidden site or I2P. I don't know much about how sandstorm works but things like a git server should be easy to host over P2P. The bandwidth over Tor and others can be really slow but some P2P protocols have high bandwidth[2].
