Comment on My selfhosting setup so far

  I’d love to share!

  I’ll likely get a post put together tomorrow and tag you!

  I just went through every compose file I had and removed all exposed ports (it possible that is) and required access only through my Caddy instance. Enabled HSTS for all sites.

  And the entire lab is separated between 3 devices. A small form factor lenovo box (16GB of DDR4 with an i5), a Raspberry Pi 4 with 8GB of ram, and an old synology that was given to me. . Redundant DNS, a Technitium container, and my pi running Pihole.

  DNS records and Caddy directives are set via Docker labels.

  A combination of Signal notifications and Ntfy to alert me where necessary. That setup including unified push for a number of apps.

  Music streaming, with a companion container that scribbles music, as well aa helped scripts that run on systemd timers thar sync music from live location, to backup 1, to backup 2 aka my desktop HDD. I have a heller script being run on a disposable docker container that searches for LRC files so I have synchronized lyrics for my music.

  And a bunch more I am forgetting.

  I like nerding out about this, and Lemmy is the only place I can talk about this where anyone understands. No one in my life IRL are tech savvy

    Uh, setting up DNS entries via docker docker labels is on my todo list since the beginning… what are you using to do it? I don’t run PiHole but Blocky, more lightweight and I like the yaml only config.

      DNSWeaver the way I have this setup is DNSWeaver reads the labels, and connects to both PiHole and Technitium.

      I was only using PiHole for many years. But in learning I could automate DNS entries with DNSweaver, I needed something more powerful. The issue I have with PiHole for DNS with DNSWeaver is that DNSWeaver can’t delete DNS records. DNSWeaver uses txt records and well PiHole doesn’t support that.

      So I installed Technitium.

      I’ve never heard od Blocky.
