Re: What do you self host?

JDJ asked which services people self host.

I now run two servers. The publicly available one is running the following:

• Apache web server, which serves both my static blog and my own CGI based publishing portals.
• Gemini server (Molly Brown), which I've actually modded to give the env variables that my CGI scripts need. They include Antenna, for example.
• SSH server, of course.
• A few cron jobs for different purposes.
• An instance of thelounge.chat, which is super helpful to me as it means I can chat on IRC from my phone.

The other one has two USB sticks attached. One is my primary drive and the other holds backups. This server only runs an SSH server and a bunch of cron jobs for creating different backups.

I'm running a firewall service on both, which is truly simple. Basically I have three files: one for enabling the firewall, one for disabling it, and a systemd service file. The enable and disable files just contain iptables rules for setting up policies and open ports and disable them in the correct order to not lose existing connections, respectively.
