Field notes
Notes on building self-hosted infrastructure and how the pieces fit together: quick fixes for specific errors, step-by-step walkthroughs, and write-ups of how our own stack is set up.
· walkthrough
Setting up Nginx Proxy Manager as the only way into a self-hosted Docker host: the compose file, wildcard certificates with the DNS challenge, proxy hosts by container name, and the nginx gotchas that bite later.
· walkthrough
Adding Authentik to a self-hosted stack behind Nginx Proxy Manager: the Compose setup, hardening after first login, and when to use native OIDC versus forward auth.
· stack
The groundwork for a self-hosted setup: independent Docker Compose stacks on one shared network, one way in, and one place for identity. What the series covers, what you need, and the conventions everything builds on.
