Selfhosting personnal repo

My very simple self-hosting setup. On my new mini-pc. Gettings things simpler & simpler overtime. Check branch : archive_01 for old setup.

Not 100% reproductible (Maybe one day NixOs?), some light debugging & manual adjust when migrating. See random dump at the end

Hardware & OS

• Origimagic C2 Neo Mini PC
• N95 Alder Lake
• 12gb ddr5
• 512gb internal nvme
• 1 To external USB SSD (For nextcloud files)

Stack

• Debian13
• Tailscale (VPN)
• Docker (with compose)

Networking

Heavy use of Tailscale sidecar (see network_mode: "service:myapp-ts") :

• Https without much efforts
• Easy domain name with MagicDNS (ending in rufous-trench.ts.net).
• Both VPN access for best-perf, and funnel for public access without opening ports.

Inconvenients :

• Vendor lock-in for networking. Even if tailscale seems cooler than cloudflare, it's still a vendor lock-in
• Not so wide adoption, need often manual thinkering

Services

• Forgejo (git repo management)
• Nextcloud (google drive replacement)
• Navidrome (Music streaming)

CI

• Forgejo runners on my school computers for the moment lol. With podman for easy rootless containers.

Backup

#TODO rsync thingy to family NAS

Random dump / doc

Nextcloud

group & user : 33, chown nextcloud folders

Music folder owned by 1000 (for navidrome access) But I want nextcloud to also be able to move those files (easy access & add)

Solution :

sudo apt install acl
sudo setfacl -R -m u:33:rwx /.../.../Music

Also Nextcloud crontab thingy

sudo crontab -e
*/5 * * * * docker exec -u www-data nextcloud php /var/www/html/cron.php

Forgejo

postgres complaining when networking change : Check pg_hba.conf, change it if needed

Navidrome

Because external mess, Nextcloud can modify files etc...

[scanner]
PurgeMissing = "always"

TODO / Random vaguely related projects

• Home assistant
• Old laptop as test server (probably on new branch)
• Wake on Wan for computer desktop via rasberry pi
• Old phones used for dashboard
• Maybe graphana things one day
