A while back, I started playing with
Nextcloud and wrote a bit
about it noting that I wondered if I’d use it.
Well I haven’t really, but as many have mentioned to me, the whole self-hosting thing is addictive!
So…I’ve been playing with
Jellyfin,
Plausible, and
VSCode/Coder but I keep forgetting how to set them up.
So far, they’ve all been similar in their configuration and setup with my existing reverse proxy
Apache2.
I’m going to quickly document the setup here for future reference.
I definitely don’t know much about Linux, Apache, or reverse proxies whatnot, so this approach could be full of holes.
Use at own risk!
