I think it’s really cool that I can just go back, let’s say, 2 years in the past and see exactly where I was at that time. Right now, the furthest I can go back in my timeline history is something like 5 years. But I believe the nostalgia factor is going to be much bigger when I’m older and I check back to see what I was doing 30 years ago.https://blog.akjohn.dev/blog/hosting-a-blog-from-your-homelab/Mon, 01 Jul 2024 13:53:07 +0530https://blog.akjohn.dev/blog/hosting-a-blog-from-your-homelab/This blog is currently being hosted on my homelab in a docker container. I have a Wireguard VPN connecting my homelab and my VPS on Linode. The VPS has Nginx Proxy Manager running in a docker container which is publicly exposed on port 80. Then I added a proxy host in Nginx so that all requests to blog.akjohn.dev gets redirected to the docker container in my homelab. One of the most common roadblocks you’ll face when trying to expose almost anything from your home network to the public Internet is bypassing CGNAT.
