🌟 Self-Hosting Journey Update! 🌟
After weeks of work, I’m excited to share my self-hosted setup! 🎉 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:
🔧 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
🔒 Security & Access:
- Caddy + Cloudflare Zero Trust/Access for reverse proxy & SSO
- FirewallD + Fail2ban for extra protection
📧 Emails Powered by Zoho ZeptoMail:
All email-capable services (e.g., Forgejo, Joplin) are configured for reliable notifications.
💾 Backups: Using IDrive’s 5 TB plan for peace of mind.
This journey has been challenging yet rewarding! 🚀 I’d love to hear your thoughts—especially tips on scaling storage or optimizing performance. Let’s chat! 💬

@Xanza You were right. I got Caddy working with no more Cloudflare tunnel. It’s working directly now, only using Cloudflare for DNS.
Nice! Glad you got it working. There shouldn’t be any significant performance increase, but there’s at least a tiny one. lmao.
