Is this the ultimate self-hosting setup? I think so...

1. caddy-docker-proxy

   Caddy as a reverse proxy for Docker

   

   Caddy-Docker-Proxy is a container that also adds a lot of simplicity to configuring a reverse proxy. It allows you to define your Caddy configuration right from labels in your docker-compose.yml. Those in the know will say this sounds a lot like Traefik, and they wouldn't be wrong. I just think it's a little simpler to use and more flexible.

3. docker-mysql-cron-backup

   2 2 326 6.3 Shell

   Docker image to backup all your databases periodically

   

   Awesome backup utilities like this for mysql/mariadb, this one for postgres, and this one for Docker volumes. Along with Duplicatti which can also be run via Docker, this all makes for incredibly simple data backups that are also stored encrypted and off-site in case of an emergency. Since my configuration is also stored in Git, I could be back up and running in the event of hardware failure with very little effort.

4. Home Assistant

   3 1,426 78,296 10.0 Python

   :house_with_garden: Open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first.

   

   But this left the server sitting idle most of the time and there were other services I was wanting to try out, like Home Assistant. So I started installing more things, but this left me with an uneasy feeling. Multiple Python versions we needed, Ubuntu updates were scary (a jump from PHP 5 to PHP 7 left me with lots of troubleshooting to get Owncloud working after an upgrade), and I had no good backup scheme. So I began looking around for better solutions.

5. docker

   4 264 6,459 8.7 Shell

   ⛴ Docker image of Nextcloud (by nextcloud)

   

   Nextcloud - File storage, office document editing, CalDav/CardDav, and more

6. kubernetes

   5 784 114,644 10.0 Go

   Production-Grade Container Scheduling and Management

   

   I know Docker has been around for a really long time now and isn't really in vogue in the tech sphere these days because of k8s and other solutions for managing/scaling distributed container ecosystems. But for a single home-server setup it seemed like the best option to me. I was also planning a hardware update, so while I waited for those pieces to come together I began building out a git repo with my docker infrastructure, any scripts I thought might be handy, and as much of my applications' configuration as possible.

7. Docker Compose

   6 423 35,226 9.7 Go

   Define and run multi-container applications with Docker

   

   Docker Compose is the main star of the show. Writing long commands to start a container with all volumes, ports, variables and other configuration is ugly. Sure you can script these commands, but compose simplifies all the docker commands by allowing you to refer to services by simple names instead of IDs. It also makes updates really easy. It's as simple as docker-compose pull and then docker-compose up -d. This will pull any new images and restart only containers with configuration changes or new images.

8. node-red-docker
