Servers + security · 2024 – now
Self-hosted infrastructure
The servers behind much of my work: a production host running client sites and apps, and a home lab with monitoring, alerting and encrypted off-site backups.
What was hard
- Container platform hosting client sites and Node services, with a hardened firewall
- Monitoring, uptime checks and alerts to chat
- Encrypted, verified off-site backups for servers and data
- Incident response, finding and removing backdoors and injected code on compromised sites
I prefer open-source, self-hosted tools, and I’d rather know how the server works than hope it does.
Built with
- Linux
- Docker
- Proxmox
- Reverse proxy
- Monitoring
- Backups
The client's name stays confidential. Happy to walk through it on a call.
