Self-hosting

A private web server.

I wrote a blog on how I self-hosted one of my web server. It includes my notes and thought process from purchasing a domain, renting a server on Hetzner, building docker images, running database and web server, configuring DNS, firewall and Nginx, and use of monitoring tools like Netdata.
