Thats a long list of things to cover, how much free time do you have?
I would start with setting things up by hand and understand what your doing before you jump into automation, as that will give you a good grounding in how to automate what you setup.
We’re looking for a DevOps engineer and so far have only got bods that have done Aws certifications, most have experience with a terminal and can’t setup a basic web server even with the internet at hand.
Run stuff you use, if you don’t use it delete
hosting a proxy server is part of self hosting, so I would to that anyway. asking me to pay for that is not going to fly
I dont have a problem with donations, thats different from “you must pay me to use my thing”. As donations is an opt in, I would do that. Paying to host my own content on my own server is taking the piss
I never understood why you would pay to do things that you can do for free
So I have a tinc mesh for my house, VPS and dedicated server. I have started using pangolin for access to things from the internet, I have also used pangolin as a VPN into my networks from my phone
looks like you need to check the config and see if the crawler is setup right
I dont use ufw, Im old and run raw iptables. But network perimeter here is the server perimeter, not the network (e.g. router). But I would apply the same logic to routers, only open ports you need
MaxAuthTries in the deb man page has this: Specifies the maximum number of authentication attempts permitted per connection. That could be both password and key
Just because you know how things work, doesnt mean everyone does. This is a good starting point for new homelabbers, as I see questions about security now and then
I can confirm that the information is relevant to anyone hosting stuff on the internet, yes the site is a mess of style. that shows it has grown over time. I wander if some of it is AI generated and so has its own look
Depends on how you want to access stuff away from home, I have both a tinc mesh VPN and pangolin tunnels.
They serve different purposes, tinc is to get from home to my Dedi and the VPS. Pangolin is to assess stuff away from home.
As I’ve just moved to starlink I to now don’t have a static IP and this has made the move almost transparent
Over kill unless you already run it, but nextcloud can do appointments.
Also Im if your a Google device, your Gmail calendar may also do appointments
as a parent, I dont have time to keep up with the stuff I host for the family as it is.
something like the kids-net would be amazing, but I do wander how much curating it takes to get it all working
Maybe try networking?
The most reliable notification service I have used is pushover, I know it’s not self host. But ROCK sold and for a £5 life time payment and with 10,000 messages per month that’s amazing
I use OVH, have done for a long time. Have a dedicated host with them and my DNS, DNS also has an API to allow getting wild card certificates
But how?
I run nextcloud and have had maybe 2 update fails in the “mumbles” years I have run it, yes it is a monster with resource. So the bigger the box it’s on the better it runs
This is the page I landed on that has how you setup nginx https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/environments/nginx
what the docker compose is, I dont know
Looking at the docs, you need the external server config for Anubis. Then where Anubis will hand back good traffic destined for your application, you did read the docs right?
Have you seen grocy, that I think has something similar?
If you can cover all that, I would hire you on the spot, that’s more than most of the candidates we have seen in the last 8 months
