I have a few selfhosted services, but I’m slowly adding more. Currently, they’re all in subdomains like linkding.sekoia.example etc. However, that adds DNS records to fetch and means more setup. Is there some reason I shouldn’t put all my services under a single subdomain with paths (using a reverse proxy), like selfhosted.sekoia.example/linkding?

    Who still pays for certs?? (I say this as non-snarkily as possible.) I just imagined everyone self-hosting uses Let’s Encrypt.

      Let’s encrypt is fine for encryption but not identification. I have some stuff which I prefer that on, specifically around demonstrating services that I host at home in the workplace. Having full verification just reduces the questions I have to deal with. It’s like $90/year for a wildcard.

        Wow, okay! I guess that’s a different use case than what I’m typically doing.

        Do you buy an EV certificate for that? Seems a bit excessive.
