Mid 2022, a friend of mine helped me set up a selfhosted Vaultwarden instance. Since then, my "infrastructure" has not stopped growing, and I've been learning each and every day about how services work, how they communicate and how I can move data from one place to another. It's truly incredible, and my favorite hobby by a long shot.

Here's a map of what I've built so far. Right now, I'm mostly done, but surely time will bring more ideas. I've also left out a bunch of "technically revelant" connections like DNS resolution through the AdGuard instance, firewalls and CrowdSec on the main VPS.

Looking at the setups that others have posted, I don't think this is super incredible - but if you have input or questions about the setup, I'll do my best to explain it all. None of my peers really understand what it takes to construct something like this, so I am in need of people who understand my excitement and proudness :)

What is the proxy in front of crowdsec for?

What did you use to chart this? And nicely done.

This is oddly similar to some informal workups I've done for our work network.

Nice work 👍.

Sorry if someone already asked this, but do you have any tutorials or guides that you used and found helpful for starting out? I have some small experience with nginx and such, but I would definitely need to follow along with something that tells me what to do and what each part does in a infrastructure like you have haha

Had to look up what a few of these were myself, check the sidebar resources: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

I've been dabbling in self hosting recently and found that chatgpt can help you setup a lot if you don't get annoyed and keep fixing your prompts. It even writes out your docker compose files for you and you can ask it questions on what things mean and what's linked to each other. If you do try it out though, avoid giving personal info like passwords in the chat.

I just have a UniFi firewall, a Synology Diskstation, and a linux server running everything. Provides torrenting, video streaming with plex, file sharing, game server hosting, music hosting, and more, and I don't ever have to mess with it :). This is impressive but I don't know if I would want to support it personally

I'd love to have everything centralized at home, but my net connection tends to fail a lot and I dont want critical services (AdGuard, Vaultwarden and a bunch of others that arent listed) to be running off of flakey internet, so those will remain in a datacenter. Other stuff might move around, or maybe not. Only time will tell, I'm still at the beginning of my journey after all!
