WordPress – This website you’re viewing is hosted on my home server, proxied through Cloudflare to obfuscate my true IP Address. Internally this website is in a WordPress docker container hosted on a VM loaded on Proxmox. Proxmox acts as a level one hypervisor. Inside my network this VM uses only a specific VLAN that keeps is traffic separate from the rest of my network for security reasons.
Samba – Using samba shares I’ve set up a self hosted cloud backup for my family. Each user has their own share that’s inaccessible from another user.
Off-site backup – That samba share is constantly synced to another server I have at a friends house, to create an offsite backup. The software I used to accomplish that is syncthing.
VFIO Passthrough – I am a casual gamer. I wanted a way to run games on my server, as it’s my most powerful computer. I run a VFIO Passthrough for my graphics card to a Kubuntu VM in Proxmox so that I can do some light gaming. I recently just ran through the game Detroit Become Human, it’s a good game.
E-mail – I do not self host e-mail. I rely on it too much. However I do use a service called SimpleLogin so that I can create catch all e-mail address and turn off an e-mail address once it becomes compromised.
