This website runs inside its own Docker container, behind a Traefik reverse proxy with a Docker provider, with an automatic TLS certificate from Let's Encrypt, deployed via GitLab CI/CD, to a server managed with Ansible.
The idea is to build a Linux-based infrastructure with cheap and open source tools.
Tools involved:
-
Linode VPS with 4 CPU Cores, 8GB of RAM, 160GB of storage and an additional 40GB volume for storage
-
Arch Linux as the OS of the server
-
Ansible for managing the server
-
Certbot and Let's Encrypt for TLS certificates
-
WireGuard for VPN
-
Docker for container orchestration
-
MariaDB for database
-
LXC (Linux Container) for containers
-
iRedMail for the mail server
-
Zulip as the communication tool
-
Traefik for reverse proxy
-
Pi-Hole for ads blocking
-
Nextcloud for file sharing and Collaboration
-
checkmk for monitoring
-
Borg & Borgmatic for file compression
-
Gitlab for code repository and CI/CD
