For many years I was an independent ruffty tuffty camper. All my kit carried on my back, I'd set off into the most remote parts of England, Scotland and Wales and enjoy the solitude and the "back to basics" nature of simple camping.

Now, as I get a bit older, I'm entering a new chapter. Yesterday I bought a VW Caddy Maxi van which I'm going to convert into a #MicroCamper.

Currently my ambition far exceeds my ability but I have a good idea about what I want to do. I'll probably make a simple bed and kitchen myself while I experiment with my requirements. Then I may get someone to make something more permanent and professional.

It's all a bit overwhelming but incredibly exciting!

I started migrating from #nginx to #caddy mostly for the built in #acme support, but now looks like nginx added support recently 🤔

I just added a custom caddy build with the cache handler in front of my `file_server`, which increased the response performance by 50%. Crazy!

Is #Prometheus still good for monitoring?
I used it at work years ago and I found it easy to hook up

Now I'm doing some self hosting and I'd like a few graphs to show the load on #Caddy and #Forgejo and my own apps and the system as a whole if I can

I remember writing a metrics endpoint once and it seemed pretty easy

Heureka! I think I have now fixed all issues with the self-hosted #Activitypub and #Analytics containers. #Traefik is definitely more complicated than #Caddy – I do not know why I always choose the hard way. I will write a blog post about all this in the next couple of days, it might help people who use Traefik and want to self-host #Ghost with enabled Activitypub and Analytics. I also definitely need to take a look at the "caddy-docker-proxy" project and migrate my configuration.
#Caddy server is such a boon and step forward. I feel old for not trying it for so long. Neuroplasticity is a thing I guess. On other hand, having held onto #nginx and finding its nitty gritties definitely helps me keep my day job. 🤷

So, das hat jetzt ewig gedauert, weil ich mich da vorher immer mal nur so halbherzig drangesetzt habe, aber jetzt läuft das Homelab mit friendly URLs, SSL-Verschlüsselung und selbst signierten Zertifikaten, weil nicht von außen erreichbar.

Das macht mich ziemlich zufrieden. 😁 Ich bin jetzt erst mal bei #traefik geblieben, #caddy ist ein Thema für irgendwann anders. #Heimdall ist als Startseite für die Services im Heimnetz eingerichtet, alle Zertifikatswarnungen weg…

Take back control: secure and private self-hosting on Debian with SSH keys, an ufw firewall and a robust fail2ban configuration. Use Docker and Caddy as a reverse proxy to securely provide your self-hosted services.

Step-by-step, minimal, and practical.

Simple private self-hosting

Self-hosting your own things is super easy today - espessially with tools like docker and caddy. In this post I give a deep into hosting your own things like your blog.

My home-baked WAF (Caddy, Fail2Ban, Flask) is having fun banning scrapers and scanners. Internet chaff is strong, even for my meaningless sites.

Some IPs hammered my non-Cloudflare domains on August 5th. Got banned.

On a sad note, it's been over 3 weeks since someone launched a #RickRoll on themself (test it here: https://rickroll.ciso.li 😎 )
