Self-Hosting

Infrastructure Overview

Current Stack

VPS (public):

  • Cloudflare Tunnel + Traefik (reverse proxy)
  • authentik (auth provider)
  • joplin, gitea (to be migrated)

Proxmox (macbook pro 2017, private):

  • Running VMs/CTs for future services

Dell R710 (2010, private):

  • restic backup server
  • Pi-hole (DNS)
  • Home Assistant

Synology DS218+ (NAS, 2x 18TB):

  • NFS mounts → main storage provider
  • Plex
  • Synology stack (Surveillance Station, etc.)

Self-Hosted Apps Wishlist

Things Claudio wants to self-host or has explored

Priority / Active

  • Migrate Gitea from VPS → Proxmox
  • Migrate Joplin from VPS → Proxmox
  • Set up proper backup system (restic already on Dell, needs orchestration)
  • Cloudflare Tunnel management (move off VPS?)

Considered / Explored

  • Linkding (bookmarks)
  • FreshRSS (RSS reader)
  • Vaultwarden (password manager)
  • Home Assistant (already running on Dell)
  • Nextcloud (file sync — already has Synology though)
  • Uptime Kuma (monitoring)
  • Glances (system monitoring)
  • AdGuard Home (alternative to Pi-hole)

Backup Strategy (TODO)

  • Restic server already running on Dell
  • Synology is primary storage
  • Need to define backup rotation for:
    • Gitea data
    • Joplin data
    • PostgreSQL DBs
    • Config files

Notes

  • VPS hosts critical infrastructure (auth, proxy) — keep it minimal
  • Proxmox is for ephemeral/experimental services
  • Dell is for always-on base services (DNS, backups, HA)
  • Synology is bulk storage + media
