A Stronger HomeLab

BackUps

Lately I was reading this reddit backup post

Because its not about if, but when a single point of failure will be gone.

1. NextCloud

Unfortunately, there is no official https://github.com/donniedice/protondrive-linux

• https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/pricing/
• s3

sudo sudo du -h --max-depth=10 /var/lib/docker | sort -rh | head

How about code backups?

VPN

To connect to your homelab, having a VPN at home is a nice way.

You can combine it with HTTPs/SSL setup if you have a domain + have this Traefik Setup.

To get started, tailscale is a great way to proceed.

You also have:

1. ProtonVPN

• https://account.proton.me/u/0/vpn/vpn-apps
  • https://protonvpn.com/download-linux
  • https://github.com/ProtonVPN/proton-vpn-gtk-app
  • https://protonvpn.com/support/official-linux-vpn-ubuntu/

2. Mullvad

• Mullvad x Gluetun

3. Wireguard

Which you can setup via wg easy as seen with the x300

• https://github.com/Devsfy/wiregui

HTTPs and SSL Everywhere

1. With NGINX Proxy Manager via UI

2. With Traefik Programatically!

Passwords

I simply love Bitwarden (which can also be selfhosted).

You also have:

• https://github.com/ProtonPass

2FA

Initially, I was using authy as my 2fa app.

I also tried Google auth and microsoft version of it.

They all work fine.

Then I heard about: 2FAS and Aegis, which are OSS.

But just recently, we have https://proton.me/authenticator

• https://github.com/orgs/protonpass/repositories
  • https://github.com/protonpass/proton-pass-common/releases

curl -LO https://proton.me/download/authenticator/linux/ProtonAuthenticator_1.0.0_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i ProtonAuthenticator_1.0.0_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
#rm ProtonAuthenticator_1.0.0_amd64.deb

• It works cross-device (for real, including linux desktop + android).
• Its OSS and allows direct import/export.
• Allows (optional) to automatic sync via a proton account.

Conclusions

Its a long way to the top if you wanna rocknroll.

Same for homelab security.
