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
