Services

2025-03-24

Ambassador

I have a few services on my Hetzner VPS/Cloud, its hostname is ambassador after the Ambassador-class starships in Star Trek (all my hostnames are Star Trek starship classes).

I run on this server:

• A Git Forge as well as a runner
• A conduwuit (matrix server) instance (faefox.dev)
• An instance of Cinny (matrix client)
• A service status page

CloudFare Page

I use CloudFare Page to run a few static websites.

• Personal Web and Blog
• Writing Web, Blog, and Online Reader (SOON)
• Calc Web

Migadu

I use Migadu as my email provider. I use the micro yearly plan, for only $20 USD a year I have everything I need. I have emails under the following domains.

• charlotte-thomas.me
  • me
  • gc
• faefox.dev
  • me
• nwa2coco.fr (to be deleted on May 2025)
  • charlotte

NAS

I have a NAS (2TB on RAID1) running on my local network. Its name is Olympic (because it is old, big, and vulnerable)

I have twice daily backups using restic on it.

Hostnames

• My personal laptop is Defiant (because it’s tough, and little)
• My work laptop is Galaxy (because it’s big)
• My personal phone is Danube (because it’s small)
• My NAS is Olympic
• My VPS is Ambassador

Plans for the future

In the future, when I have my own home, with my own Network (because I am moving to a place where I don’t control it for the moment), my plan is to run a Server/NAS where I can store my data and expose it to the web to run my applications and everything I need

In the plans there is:

• Everything I run on my VPS
• A NAS (maybe with TrueNAS?)
• A NextCloud
• A web equivalent to Google Docs/Google Sheets
• A Plex Server
• An OpenStack instance (to do ansible and terraform on)
• And everything that strike my fancy

The budget will be around €1,500 to build it, and the minimum spec I want are:

• CPU: 8C/16T, reasonably recent
• GPU: An Intel ARC for transcoding
• RAM: 64GB
  • 32GB for the NAS
  • 32GB for the VMs
• Storage:
  • 8TB in RAID5 with HDD
  • 512GB in RAID1 on NVMe
• PSU:
  • Gold Rated Unit
  • An UPS
• Silent Fans.
• LAN: 2.5 Gbit/s

I don’t know if I want to run it on a rack or not. I think not.

Everything is very subject to changes. It’s the early version of what I’m thinking. I may scrap it and run it from an old motherboard because I would have updated my Framework. Maybe. So it can change it’s just what I’m feeling at the moment.

It won’t exists for another year and a half (or more); but it will probably be under some subdomains of charlotte-thomas.me and/or faefox.dev
