Self-Hosting Journey Update!

After weeks of work, I'm excited to share my self-hosted setup! I'm running everything on a Raspberry Pi 500 with Stormux (Arch Linux ARM-based), 8 GB RAM, and a 512 GB SD card (planning to upgrade to SSD or NAS as soon as I can afford it). Here's what I’ve built so far:

Services in Action:
- Development: Forgejo, Code-Server, Woodpecker CI
- Productivity: Joplin Server, Monica CRM, Homepage dashboard
- Monitoring: Prometheus + Alertmanager, Grafana, Netdata, Uptime Kuma
- Networking: AdGuardHome + Unbound, Tailscale VPN
- Tools: MiniFlux, Linkding, TheLounge
- Management: Portainer, Cockpit, Watchtower

Security & Access:
- Caddy + Cloudflare Zero Trust/Access for reverse proxy & SSO
- FirewallD + Fail2ban for extra protection

Emails Powered by Zoho ZeptoMail:
All email-capable services (e.g., Forgejo, Joplin) are configured for reliable notifications.

Backups: Using IDrive's 5 TB plan for peace of mind.

This journey has been challenging yet rewarding! I'd love to hear your thoughts—especially tips on scaling storage or optimizing performance. Let's chat!

Running #CodeServer on the public web let's me edit my creative projects from anywhere. It's my private cloud.

Grr! MS just aged VS on Mac. I’m glad CodeServer is still open source, buggy and slow as it is.

Are there any good alternatives to CodeServer?

open-source
programming IDE
?

I’ve been playing with VSCode for the first time. Decent editor. I can’t figure out how to SFTP from it however, and it doesn’t understand the standard keyboard shortcuts on the iPad I’m sure there’s a setting somewhere.

I’m trying to create a workspace in VSCode server (codeserver) and getting this error when adding a folder. This message is useless. Anyone know how to resolve this or at least find the file in question?

Thanks

Recently I’ve been getting more into using my #iPad Pro as a daily-driver. I love its versatility, speed, and battery.
Here are some notes on how I set up a working dev environment for coding on iPad using #Tailscale and #CodeServer https://wilw.dev/blog/2022/06/12/ipad-coding
