I’m still a newcomer to self hosting, and I could use some guidance on how to best accomplish what I’m trying to do.
Right now, I’ve got AdGuard, Jellyfin, and Nextcloud running on a Raspberry Pi 4 with a 500 GB external hard drive, using YunoHost. Those services are all available at my free domain name provided by YunoHost.
I’d like to run all of those services on the same Pi they’re on now, but using Docker, so I have more control and access to more applications. I would also like to configure a reverse proxy so I can access them at, for example, nextcloud.mydomain.com. (YunoHost doesn’t support custom domains from Porkbun, which is the registrar I’m using.)
What would be the least painful way to go about this? I understand how Docker works conceptually, but I admittedly don’t really know how to use it in practice. Are there any resources available that would get me up to speed quickly?
Appreciate the help - thanks!
backup your data and configs. Run docker. Run portainer to manage docker compose. Make a stack for each container and deploy. Use Nginx-proxy-manager to manage routing your domains. Open the ports on your router to NPM. If public run strong passwords and 2fa. If private but with local ssl you can use your local ip and it works the same, at least via cloudflare and npm.
Thank you! That’s helpful. How would you go about setting up a password and 2FA for your own site? I would like to make my services “publicly” available (to myself and friends/family)
I highly recommend getting them to access your sites over VPN not publicly then you don’t have to worry about this at all. For services that don’t have 2fa you can route the services from NPM to authentik. Then in authentik you have another password and can setup 2fa. Authentik is awesome.
You will be shocked how many times your sites are attacked by bots per day. Think five thousand plus.
You can also use fail2ban to block those IPs.
I’ll definitely do that! Thanks for the recommendations
