# SERVER
|
||||
|
||||
> Update in comming. Early 2026
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
This document describes the architecture and setup of the self-hosted **NixOS server**, which is securely accessible via **Tailscale**. The server is designed for private, secure, and easily manageable self-hosting of various services.
|
||||
This document describes the architecture and setup of the self-hosted **NixOS server**, which is securely accessible via **a Cloudflare Tunnel**.
|
||||
The server is designed for private, secure, and easily manageable self-hosting of various services.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## **Why This Setup?**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Private & Secure**: Services are only accessible through Tailscale, preventing exposure to the public internet.
|
||||
- **Domain-based Access**: A custom domain (`example.org`) maps to the server's Tailscale IP, making service access simple and consistent.
|
||||
- **Automatic SSL Certificates**: Using DNS-01 challenges, valid SSL certificates are generated even though the services are not publicly exposed.
|
||||
- **Modular & Declarative**: Everything is managed through NixOS modules, ensuring reproducibility and easy configuration.
|
||||
- **Private & Secure**: Services are only accessible through Cloudflare's access control, preventing exposure to the "public internet".
|
||||
- **Domain-based Access**: A custom domain maps to the server's tunnel, making service access simple and consistent.
|
||||
- **Modular & Declarative**: Everything is managed through NixOS modules (except for access control), ensuring reproducibility and easy configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
## **Self-Hosted Services**
|
||||
|
||||
The server hosts several key applications:
|
||||
|
||||
### **Core Infrastructure**
|
||||
|
||||
- **NGINX**: Reverse proxy for routing traffic to services via `example.org`.
|
||||
|
||||
### **Networking & Security**
|
||||
|
||||
- **NGINX**: Reverse proxy for routing traffic to services via my domain name.
|
||||
- **AdGuard Home**: A self-hosted DNS ad blocker for network-wide ad and tracker filtering.
|
||||
|
||||
### **Monitoring & Storage**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Glance**: An awesome dashboard! (See the screenshot above)
|
||||
|
||||
### **Media & Content Management**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Arr Stack (Radarr, Sonarr, etc.)**: Automated media management tools for handling movies and TV shows. (legaly ofc)
|
||||
|
||||
## **How It Works**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Domain Configuration**
|
||||
- `example.org` is pointed to the Tailscale IP of the server. (cloudflare A record, not proxied)
|
||||
- This allows for easy access without exposing services to the internet.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **SSL Certificate Generation**
|
||||
- Certificates are obtained using a **DNS-01 challenge**, verifying domain ownership without requiring public access.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **NGINX Reverse Proxy**
|
||||
- Routes incoming requests from `*.example.org` to the correct internal service.
|
||||
- Ensures SSL termination and secure connections.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Access Control**
|
||||
- Only devices within the Tailscale network can reach the services.
|
||||
- Firewall rules restrict access further based on necessity.
|
||||
- **Mealie**: A self-hosted recipe manager and meal planner with a clean user interface.
|
||||
- **Stirling-PDF**: A powerful, locally hosted web application for editing, merging, and converting PDF files.
|
||||
- **CyberChef**: The "Cyber Swiss Army Knife" for data analysis, decoding, and encryption tasks.
|
||||
- **Linkding**: A simple, fast, and minimalist bookmark manager.
|
||||
- **Mazanoke**: A utility service for image processing, specialized in format conversion and downgrading/optimization.
|
||||
- **Eleakxir**: A private search engine for exploring data wells (parquet files) with a modern web interface.
|
||||
- **SSH**: Secure remote access configuration for server management. (via browser too)
|
||||
- **Security related stuff**: Cloudflared, Fail2Ban, Firewall
