# Self Host Blocks
*Building blocks for self-hosting with best practices.*
*Building blocks for self-hosting with battery included.*
SHB's (Self Host Blocks) goal is to provide a lower entry-bar for
self-hosting. I intend to achieve this by providing building blocks
promoting best practices to self-host a wide range of services. Also,
the design will be extendable to allow user defined services.
the design will be extendable to allow users to add services not
provided by SHB.
As far as features and best practices go, I intend to provide, for all
services:
- protection and single sign-on using [Keycloak](https://www.keycloak.org/), where possible
- automated backing up of data and databases with [Borgmatic](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/)
- encrypted external backup with [Rclone](https://rclone.org/)
- central logging, monitoring and dashboards with [Prometheus](prometheus.io/) and [Grafana](https://grafana.com/)
- integration with external services that are hard to self-host, like email sending
- deployment of services on the same or different machines
- home dashboard with [Dashy](https://github.com/lissy93/dashy)
- vault to store passwords and api keys using [Password Store](https://www.passwordstore.org/), those shouldn't be stored in config or on disk
- test changes using local virtual machines to avoid botching prod
- automated CI tests

provide are [Tiny Tiny RSS](https://tt-rss.org/) and
[Vaultwarden](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden). Vaultwarden

self-hosting. Tiny Tiny RSS was chosen because it requires quite a lot
of moving parts and also will allow me to test single sign-on.
