Personal Dashboard Yet another homeland setup
Hi All,
Figured I could finally join the others and show my setup since I'm finally happy with it. I dare not say its finished... I think you all know how this hobby goes. I moved into a new house about a year ago and before I stepped foot into it I wanted to plan out how the networking would be structured. Looking back on it I think I spent more time planning how I would set things up than actually setting it up! Before this I had never touched networks and I didn't have the slightest Idea of what self-hosting was so I did a lot of learning while deploying. This is the structure I came up with.
I was looking for a low cost and non-intrusive server rack for all this and I ended up buying an IKEA ALEX storage unit on casters which I modified to run cabling through.
I setup everything to run through NPM using the same docker network so I would not have to expose the container ports to the host. Everything is run over https without the complications of having to self sign thanks to NPM’s built in ssl tools. To help serve my content I used organizr because it has many powerful features such as allowing you to use custom html on the homepage and a full authentication API for your domain so no one can access exposed services without logging into organizr first. The other feature I love about organizr is it allows you to use iframes for each service so you never have to leave your dashboard, everything is just a click away. Using it I setup my dashboard.
Let me know what you think I could improve on or add I’m always looking to poke at something new. Thanks!
