Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I currently renew my domains on namecheap and manage the records on cloudflare. Namecheap's web interface is trash (doesn't work in Firefox for no reason) and I dread every time I have to touch it. I'm currently considering just moving the registrations to cloudflare too.
Same. Their API is now too slow for LetsEncrypt DNS challenges. :(
Cloudflare is great though.
I just moved my registrar from namecheap to cloudflare since they started supporting .dev domains and it's infinitely better. Was already using them for the dns challenges cuz I'm not paying for SSL certs.
Leave the registration with NC and move the DNS to cloudflare. You should separate the two functions anyway so you have fallback ability for both. If the DNS is borked, you can go back to the registrar and change name servers, and if the registrar is down, it doesn't affect your DNS.
