xsrv VS mistborn

Yes, OpenLDAP installed from this ansible role

It's dead easy to use TCP/SSL instead of UDP to forward logs. Example rsyslog config

I use rsyslog for that since it's the default in Debian. Configuring forwarding is very simple, a single file in /etc/rsyslog.d/forwarding.conf [1]. Note that this setup uses TLS to encrypt messages so you need to create the relevant certificates (I use self-signed certs). Unencrypted TCP or UDP is simpler, but less secure.

preseed.cfg contains a few basic options needed to setup the OS [1]

I do this with https://github.com/nodiscc/xsrv/tree/master/roles/openldap + https://github.com/nodiscc/xsrv/tree/master/roles/samba. It's just a standalone samba server + LDAP auth for users, no DC or anything like that, so I'm not sure this is what you're looking for.

This ansible role (check the tasks/ directory) gives a good breakdown of what is needed to setup a basic LDAP server and authentication service

I use samba in standalone mode with or without LDAP auth https://github.com/nodiscc/xsrv/tree/master/roles/samba

Guys, anyone has experience with Mistborn ?

There is a github project that rolls a Nextcloud instance and Jellyfin together in a docker install. It also rolls a bunch more stuff as well. https://gitlab.com/cyber5k/mistborn

try mistborn: https://gitlab.com/cyber5k/mistborn

https://gitlab.com/cyber5k/mistborn has wireguard and valtwarden built-in

So there is one other option you can run with - mistborn. Now, fair warning - if you want to run this on a pi....flash at least 100GB of storage space on a microssd and then for the OS I recommend a Ubuntu flavor of your choice. Ideally the latest one he has listed as successful on his table of distros that he successfully installed it on.

I find the fundamental problem with this sort of server setup script/config management is that they inevitably get quite personal. Nobody really wants to use another devs and when you try to allow for a lot of customisation they tend get byzantine and complex.

That said I still think it's worth sharing. If nothing else we can all usually cherry pick nice ideas from each other.

I had an entirely private set of Ansible roles I'd cobbled together that I started to put in a more shareable state a couple of years ago. It has little overlap with what you're putting together, but I do think you might find the way it separates personal Ansible config and the main project roles into separate directories (and thus different git repos) useful.

I really need to dust off my project and get it to a releasable state this year [momod](https://github.com/adrinux/momod).

I assume you've come across the many similar projects like [Sovereign](https://github.com/sovereign/sovereign), [Mistborn](https://gitlab.com/cyber5k/mistborn)

I've been using selfhosted Nextcloud with OnlyOffice for years. I've yet to encounter something it can't handle. In fact I opened up my setup at the beginning of the pandemic so others could host their own: https://gitlab.com/cyber5k/mistborn
