Self Host Blocks
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 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, where sensible.
- Automated backup of data and databases with Borgmatic.
- Encrypted external backup with Rclone.
- Central logging, monitoring and dashboards with Prometheus and Grafana.
- Integration with external services that are hard to self-host, like email sending.
- Deployment of every services on the same or different machines.
- Home dashboard with Dashy.
- Vault to store passwords and api keys using Password Store, those shouldn't be stored in config or on disk.
- Test changes using local virtual machines to avoid botching prod.
- Automated CI tests that can be run locally using virtual machines.
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 is somewhat lightweight.
