Basic stuff and where to start Building.
Basics
Pass is the standard Unix password manager. I use PASS multiple times a day, and it never fails me. If you're looking for a secure offline password manager, look no further. Add a Git repository, and it's fantastic. In a GUI, QtPass. Also, OTP TOTP and 2FA are possible directly in the command line.
Docker
The workhorse on any lab is Docker. With Dockge the stacks are easy to deploy and manage. I run this as a script when I need a Docker VM.
Remote Access
Configure SSH Tunnel (Port Forwarding) on macOS, Linux and Windows using OpenSSH. In this example, I will show how to tunnel an RDP connection traffic over OpenSSH.
Build
Sometimes it's nice to play with a filbrowser on a NAS. One nice small project is - filbrowser. I have a post about using it with docker, but this is how to set filebrowser up on Alpine/Ubuntu/Debian VM/CT
Build
Running a NAS in a Proxmox VM might need a web based File Browser. The filebrowser is the easiest and smallest to use. The filebrowser run on docker. Linux, macOS, and Windows are also supported. #filebrowser #docker #proxmox
Build
How to add a Web Server to a regular Linux virtual machine. A minimal Alpine VM is a good base for services like Nginx as a web server. Alpine ensures minimal VM overhead.
Basics
Do you know who's on your network? Set up a Network Intrusion Monitor and you know. Used Pi.Alert but found an alternative, WatchYourLAN with Telegram or something.
Build
Most of my work is performed in a terminal window or a TUI, except for rare instances where I utilize a GUI. That is precisely the reason why I strive to acquire the finest tools available, analogous to a carpenter who seeks the finest chisels available. Boost your productivity. #neowim #lazyvim
Basics
Proxmox monitoring using #influxdb and #grafana running in a LXC container. Monitoring is a key part of the security and hardening process.
Basics
To secure the Proxmox node or cluster we need to set some user things on the OS level (Debian) and some more then in Proxmox. Having servers in a Data Center also needs some more security measures to be in place. Servers are key targets for hackers, gain access to thousands accounts in one go.
Build
Proxmox Notifications uses Gotify. Gotify can run on many platforms, we use Docker and iPhone. Quick notifications are essential when things goes sideways and servers crash but also when a backup fails. #gotify #igotify #proxmox
Build
Storage servers are needed every where and usually several. Usually there is absolutely no need for any GUI or other stuff bloating the server. The best is a plain NFS Server - it's fast and romust.
