Yesterday, I showed how I set up my home server with caddy to retrieve SSL certificates and serve my self-hosted services like paperless-ngx and Jellyfin on human-readable domain names with SSL encryption.
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)
What is Caddy and why do I use it Caddy can be called a multipurpose webserver, coming with a large subset of modules and being ready for most applications out-of-the-box while keeping a simple configuration.
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. 💜
Thankfully permanent x3 It’d be a lot of work stitching some parts together each time otherwise ^^”

Discord avatars loaded from oauth kept disappearing after a while in my admin panel. Here's how I solved it. (open for critique ~)
He goes to all major conventions in France/Germany and takes commissions there. Next chance would be at Eurofurence.
Alternative would only be digital commissions which are less frequent.
I'm currently working on a new configuration repo, replacing raft (called otterden), which consists of configurations for my two workstations and two servers that I run at home.
Benefit is the great selection of packages for nixos, basically making it unnecessary for the most part to run docker container at home and updating these frequently. My new config consists of things like paperless-ngx, jellyfin etc. running on the host directly, maintained by nix.
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
