If you've known me for some time, you're aware of my avid enthusiasm for established on-demand cloud computing platforms like AWS. These platforms not only simplify the hosting of online services but also relieve individuals of concerns related to intricate aspects like DNS and web security. Nevertheless, owing to escalating costs and heightened security considerations, I've concluded that I must now take on the responsibility of maintaining my own infrastructure.
Currently, the infrastructure is tailored to support three of my critical web services: a self-hosted GitLab, a code-server service, and Dawn Lit. Each component is meticulously segregated and encapsulated within individual Docker containers, streamlining the deployment process.
The infrastructure is configured and validated for operation on Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS. Additionally, there is flexibility for running the entire infrastructure on Ubuntu Desktop if that aligns with your preferences.
- Configure the configuration.json.
- On your server, run
sudo python3 setup_env.pyto set up the environment, your system will reboot after the script has been successfully executed. - Run
python3 setup_danwlit.pyto set up the infrastructure (sudo not needed).
That is it.
