Nowadays, everything is shipped as a Docker image.įor the new server, I am considering running everything in Kubernetes. Ten years ago, Puppet, Ansible, and Chef were the tools of choice to provision a server and install software on it. Being able to quickly restore a system is not only a luxury, it is absolutely necessary for services that I rely on.Īt the same time, how software is deployed has massively changed as well. Software fails and hardware dies eventually. Over the past decade, I have learned how valuable it is to have the configuration as code and a tool that can quickly recreate the server. Most importantly, it is very difficult to manage the server using Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform. This has worked well, but there are a few things that I am missing. I need to run the UniFi controller in my local network so that I am able to manage my devices.Īs mentioned above, I am currently running most of my tech stack on a Synology NAS. This one is maybe less exciting and more necessary. The most exciting part for me is deciding what I want to run on the server. Home Assistant, for example, needs to be completely reset to match the new floor plan and the devices in the new apartment.īefore jumping into anything, I want to take a moment to consider what to run on the server and how to manage it. This is a great chance to start from scratch, but I also need to redo some of my configuration. There are some things that I'd like to run myself again so that I'm in full control of my data.

Recent events have made me reconsider how much I want to rely on cloud services.

But two things have changed in my life that make me want to set up a new home server: While this setup is not perfect, it has worked well enough for the past few years.

Pi-hole for DNS and adblocking, Home Assistant for some light home automation, a UniFi controller to manage my network. I have a Synology NAS that is mostly used for backups, but that also runs some services in Docker.

Right now, my personal tech stack at home is quite small. Sometimes it was all about experimentation and learning, while at other times I just needed things to work™. Their scope and features always changed, depending on my own needs, interests, and resources. 6 min read Photo by Taylor Vick / Unsplashįor the past decade or longer, I have been running my own home server(s).
