A few months ago I made a [post](https://blog.crimsontome.com/posts/PVE/) on Proxmox and what I run/ran on my physical home server, and whilst I have now fixed my hardware issues (by geting completely different hardware) I am yet to recreate all my VMs on that machine. So in the meantime, using my [GitHub Student](https://education.github.com/pack) credits I have setup a VPS with [DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/products/droplets).
|

|
|
## What I run
|
|
|
|
### Blog
|
|
|
|
My blog (what you are currently reading) is hosted on my droplet using [11ty](https://www.11ty.dev/) and [Docker](https://www.docker.com/). It is essentially the same as what I have done previously except instead of deploying to netlify I have Docker build the site and expose it on my server with this Dockerfile
|
|
```dockerfile
|
|
FROM node:10-alpine3.9 as npmpackages
|
|
WORKDIR /app
|
|
COPY package.json .
|
|
RUN npm install
|
|
|
|
FROM node:10-alpine3.9 as builder
|
|
WORKDIR /app
|
|
COPY --from=npmpackages /app /app
|
|
COPY . .
|
|
RUN npm run build
|
|
|
|
FROM nginx:1.17.10-alpine
|
|
RUN rm -r /usr/share/nginx/html/
|
|
COPY --from=builder /app/_site/ /usr/share/nginx/html/
|
|
|
|
EXPOSE 5000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Git server
|
|
|
|
My Git server at https://git.crimsontome.com (as reccomended by a good friend [Starbeamrainbowlabs](https://starbeamrainbowlabs.com/)) is created using [Gitea](https://gitea.io/en-us/). I use it to host most of my private repositories and store backups of some important repos from GtiHub, just in case. I had some issues setting this up in a Docker container so i just run the standalone package.
|
|
|
|
### Links
|
|
|
|
https://links.crimsontome.com is created from a [littlelink](https://github.com/techno-tim/littlelink-server) container. It is an open-source self-hosted alternative to services like LinkTree. It contains links to most of my public services and is ran through this docker-compose file
|
|
```dockerfile
|
|
version: "3.0"
|
|
services:
|
|
littlelink-server:
|
|
image: ghcr.io/techno-tim/littlelink-server:latest
|
|
# dockerhub is also supported timothystewart6/littlelink-server
|
|
# image: timothystewart6/littlelink-server:latest

### Nginx Proxy Mangager
|
|
|
|
[Nginx Proxy Manager](https://nginxproxymanager.com/) is a project that 'comes as a pre-built docker image that enables you to easily forward to your websites running at home or otherwise, including free SSL, without having to know too much about Nginx or Letsencrypt'
|
|
|
|
```dockerfile
|
|
version: '3'
|
|
services:
|
|
app:
|
|
image: 'jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest'
|
|
restart: unless-stopped
|
|
ports:
|
|
- '80:80'
|
|
- '81:81'
|
|
- '443:443'
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- ./data:/data
|
|
- ./letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also use it to lock sites that don't come with their own authenticattion. You can read about how to do that [here](https://blog.crimsontome.com/posts/locking-sites-with-nginx-proxy-manager/)
|
|
|
|
### PrivateBin server
|
|
|
|
Whilst currently not fully functional, https://paste.crimsontome.com hosts my [PrivateBin](https://privatebin.info/) instance. Like most of my services it runs inside a docker container
|
|
```dockerfile
|
|
docker run -d --restart="always" --read-only -p 8080:8080 -v $PWD/privatebin-data:/srv/data privatebin/nginx-fpm-alpine
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Dashy
|
|
|
|
[Dashy](https://dashy.to/) can be ran in a docker container, but some plugins *do not* work whilst Dashy is in one, so I am using npm to build and serve it instead. Once you are done setting up dashy
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy.git
|
|
cd dashy
|
|
# make your changes to public/conf
|
|
npm run build
|
|
npm run start
|
|
```
|
|

### Server metrics with NetData
|
|
|
|
I use [NetData](https://github.com/netdata/netdata) to provide server metrics for my dashboard such as CPU, Memory and disk usage, alognside many others |
