🌟 Self-Hosting Journey Update! 🌟

🌟 Self-Hosting Journey Update! 🌟

After weeks of work, I'm excited to share my self-hosted setup! πŸŽ‰ I'm running everything on a Raspberry Pi 500 with Stormux (Arch Linux ARM-based), 8 GB RAM, and a 512 GB SD card (planning to upgrade to SSD or NAS as soon as I can afford it). Here's what I’ve built so far:

πŸ”§ Services in Action:
Development: Forgejo, Code-Server, Woodpecker CI
Productivity: Joplin Server, Monica CRM, Homepage dashboard
Monitoring: Prometheus + Alertmanager, Grafana, Netdata, Uptime Kuma
Networking: AdGuardHome + Unbound, Tailscale VPN
Tools: MiniFlux, Linkding, TheLounge
Management: Portainer, Cockpit, Watchtower

πŸ”’ Security & Access:
Caddy + Cloudflare Zero Trust/Access for reverse proxy & SSO
FirewallD + Fail2ban for extra protection

πŸ“§ Emails Powered by Zoho ZeptoMail:
All email-capable services (e.g., Forgejo, Joplin) are configured for reliable notifications.

πŸ’Ύ Backups: Using IDrive's 5 TB plan for peace of mind.

This journey has been challenging yet rewarding! πŸš€ I'd love to hear your thoughtsβ€”especially tips on scaling storage or optimizing performance. Let's chat! πŸ’¬
