HomeLab and Self-hosting

I'm curious to see what other furs are selfhosting.

The things I selfhost are:

• Navidrome (music server)
• SilverBullet (note taking with login access via website)
• Synapse (Matrix server)
• Cinny (Matrix client)
• Uptime Kuma (simple uptime monitoring tool) (only internal)
• Focalboard (project management) (only internal)
• Caddy (reverse proxy to manage all other services)

I used to selfhost:

• Nextcloud
• Etherpad
• wg-easy

Using the same local domain to access my services via Tailscale VPN

It’s a little extension to the article from yesterday when accessing the services from remote.

I’m still using the ssl certificates that have been generated and it’s a cleaner way than just adding the vpn ip address to the dns entries (round robin DNS)

I migrated part of my home lab to nixos and started migrating services. Sometimes there are some obstacles like immutable packages etc.

This little article is a tutorial so others don’t get stuck. 💜

When planning the new infrastructure of my homelab with nixos, I wanted to see how other people approach it / set up their infrastructure repo.

Heads up: Idea is to have one repository with all hosts that keeps all configurations. On the respective hosts you just checkout the repository and rebuild the systems with the flake.

My first attempt when I started: https://codeberg.org/aottr/raft

Feel free to add more useful links. This is not about nixos by itself but to start planning / configuring the homelab with nixos
