Self Host Blocks

Building blocks for self-hosting with best practices.

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.

As far as best practices go, I intend to provide, for all services:

• protection and single sign-on using Keycloak, where possible
• automated backing up of data and databases with Borgmatic
• encrypted external backup with Rclone
• central logging, monitoring and dashboards with Prometheus and Grafana
• home dashboard with Dashy

Implementation is made with the disnix suite - Disnix, Dysnomia, NixOps - built on top of the nix ecosystem.

Progress Status

Currently, this repo is WIP and the first two services I intend to provide are Tiny Tiny RSS and Vaultwarden. Vaultwarden was chosen as it's IMO the first stepping stone to enable 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.
