Infrastructure!
I love critical infrastructure! : ) The devices I use to host websites like this have gone through many revisions throughout the years I've been hosting things. From but a simple old computer to a set of servers! The system I have here is quite complicated (Unnecessarilly so, some could say), especially given the limited things that are hosted.
Servers
In effect, three servers handle most things.
Sarek: Sarek is a Dell Poweredge T310, and is responsible for hosting this webpage, an IRC server (And an accompanying frontend), a nextcloud instance, a photo viewing service, a jellyfin instance, a mail server, a DNS server, and an internet radio broadcasting service. Pretty much everything I do is hosted here, by way of VMs : )
Soval: Soval is a Dell OptiPlex 5250 AIO, and is primarilly responsible for Identity Management, by way of FreeIPA. It also, by proxy, manages DNS records
Surak: Surak is a custom built computer, and is responsible for acting as a router and firewall, necessary for both security, and on account of only having one IP address. It also handles ad blocking!
Services & Software
Website: I use Apache to host this website, and many of the other static ones on the JGlotr.org domain. It's a pretty nifty piece of software!
Photo Gallery: In the past, I've used photoview, to some amount of success (Though it's still missing some critical features, in my opinion).
IRC & TheLounge: InspIRCd is used for the IRC server itself, whilst TheLounge is used as a frontend IRC web client. It's a setup that works pretty well, if I do so say myself.
DNS: There are two DNS servers, in effect. One acts as a primary, whilst another serves as a hidden master for both. FreeIPA is used to manage records in the hidden master, whose records are then copied over to the public-facing primary.
E-Mail
Internet Radio: Not often used, but it can be a convenient way to share music with friends! The last thing that was broadcast on it was Steamboat Willie, the day it came into public domain, of course. It uses Icecast.
Productivity Software: A Nextcloud instance is hosted on here as well! Nextcloud is a very powerful piece of software, with support for messaging, file editing and creation, an interface for cloud storage, a mail client, and a calandar! All of this is designed to be collaborative as well, which is very cool indeed!
Identity Management: I use FreeIPA for authentication and Identity Management. It's a holdover from my days as a system administrator, and is entirely overkill for my setup, but it works.
Debian: Most of the services you see here run on a server running Debian! (Or, more accurately, a VM running Debian)
Arch Linux: For many years, my server ran Arch, as a matter of principle. To this day, there are some elements of my workflow that are too difficult to port over to Debian, so an Arch VM is kept.
Rocky Linux: FreeIPA runs on RHEL derivitive distros. Rocky Linux is such a derivitive, having been created after Red Hat discontinued CentOS (RIP CentOS, may it forever live on in our heats).
