My notes on running containerized web services on a home server (avikdas.com)

I set up a new home server recently using containerized services, and I wanted to share what I learned. Nothing here is revolutionary, but this is the type of resource I wish I had when I started.

I'm open to feedback on what I could have done better!

I find it disappointing that everyone's first suggestion in the selfhosted community is Cloudflare. It seems to run counter to the spirit of selfhosting to hand off the last part to the giant corporation that controls 90% of the Internet.

Most of what Cloudflare does—if it's necessary at all—can be replicated with a cheap (or free) VPS sitting in front of your network on a VPN, and the remainder doesn't matter for most selfhosted use cases.
