I've recently been pulled back into the addictive hobby (or life) of self-hosting after wanting to host some personal applications. And oh boy do I just love going deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole.

I started off with plainly installing Docker on my raspberry pi and spinning up a container of my application and accessing it through my local network on the exposed port.

But now, I've now gone through the iterations where I am now at a point where I have a good setup (I think):

  • ufw firewall
  • pi-hole
  • wireguard vpn
  • authentik
  • godoxy

It's been a fun journey learning the in's and out's of networking, security and many other things. It's so satisfying to be playing around with all this and it actually benefitting your everyday life! :D

Next on my list is setting up a NAS. The fun never ends.
