Self hosting is really cool. However when it comes to static hosting, apart than keeping your data at home and having fun setting up servers, I don't really see the point when there's so many free good options. I use CloudFlare Pages for my blog, their integration with GitHub is flawless and you get to host your website at edge for free.
When I need to host dynamic content, another good option is CloudFlare Tunnels (I promise I'm not sponsored by them, their products are good is all :)), so you don't have to do shenanigans updating DNS records on the fly, and more importantly you don't have to compromise your network opening up and forwarding ports.
- mistrial9 4y agoCloudFlare is a MITM against its clients, by design. Everyone is good when things are good, but when trouble comes ..
- AdrienPoupa 4y agoIf it comes, you switch to a different hosting provider in about 5 minutes, that's not a very big effort
- hansr 4y agoTrue. Is there a Content Delivery Network (CDN) that isn't a MITM, though? Sitting between the client and server is how they work...
- john459doe 4y agoI have lost count of how many sites Cloudflare has interfered with, insisting on proving myself human yet again, during the past three months. This is about the time I started using the LibreWolf browser (even disabling adblocker). When I open up Chromium, the problems stop.
- JohnFen 4y agoI don't want to use Cloudflare.
