Projects

Home Server

From an old computer of mine and with a Synology NAS DS220+ (opens new window), I build my own server. This server allows me to host all my media via a free Software Media Player called Jellyfin (opens new window). It also hosts my own "Google Drive" via an on-premise alertanive called nextcloud (opens new window). I mounted this server via a docker composed of the following stack:

Media stack

  • sonarr (opens new window) : Sonarr is a PVR for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new episodes of your favorite shows and will grab, sort and rename them. It can also be configured to automatically upgrade the quality of files already downloaded when a better quality format becomes available.
  • radarr (opens new window) : Radarr is an independent fork of Sonarr reworked for automatically downloading movies via Usenet and BitTorrent.
  • prowlarr (opens new window) : Prowlarr is a indexer manager/proxy built on the popular arr .net/reactjs base stack to integrate with your various PVR apps. Prowlarr supports both Torrent Trackers and Usenet Indexers. It integrates seamlessly with Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, and Readarr offering complete management of your indexers with no per app Indexer setup required (we do it all).
  • qbittorrent (opens new window) : qBittorrent is a bittorrent client programmed in C++ / Qt that uses libtorrent (sometimes called libtorrent-rasterbar) by Arvid Norberg.It aims to be a good alternative to all other bittorrent clients out there. qBittorrent is fast, stable and provides unicode support as well as many features.
  • jellyfin (opens new window) : Jellyfin is the Free Software Media System that puts you in control of managing and streaming your media. There are no strings attached, no premium licenses or features, and no hidden agendas.
  • flaresolverr (opens new window) : FlareSolverr starts a proxy server, and it waits for user requests in an idle state using few resources. When some request arrives, it uses Selenium with the undetected-chromedriver to create a web browser (Chrome). It opens the URL with user parameters and waits until the Cloudflare challenge is solved (or timeout).
  • jellyseer (opens new window) : Jellyseerr is a free and open source software application for managing requests for your media library. It is a a fork of Overseerr built to bring support for Jellyfin & Emby media servers!
  • nextcloud (opens new window) : Nextcloud is an open source, self-hosted file share and communication platform. Access and sync your files, contacts, calendars and communicate and collaborate across your devices.

Proxy stack

  • traefik (opens new window) : Traefik (pronounced traffic) is a modern HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer that makes deploying microservices easy. Traefik integrates with your existing infrastructure components (Docker, Swarm mode, Kubernetes, Consul, Etcd, Rancher v2, Amazon ECS, ...) and configures itself automatically and dynamically. Pointing Traefik at your orchestrator should be the only configuration step you need.
  • oauth (opens new window) : A minimal forward authentication service that provides OAuth/SSO login and authentication for the traefik reverse proxy/load balancer.

Monitoring stack

  • heimdall (opens new window) : Heimdall Application Dashboard is a dashboard for all your web applications. It doesn't need to be limited to applications though, you can add links to anything you like.
  • grafana (opens new window) : Grafana allows you to query, visualize, alert on and understand your metrics no matter where they are stored. Create, explore, and share dashboards with your team and foster a data-driven culture.
  • prometheus (opens new window) : Prometheus, a Cloud Native Computing Foundation project, is a systems and service monitoring system. It collects metrics from configured targets at given intervals, evaluates rule expressions, displays the results, and can trigger alerts when specified conditions are observed.
  • portainer (opens new window) : Portainer Community Edition is a lightweight service delivery platform for containerized applications that can be used to manage Docker, Swarm, Kubernetes and ACI environments. It is designed to be as simple to deploy as it is to use. The application allows you to manage all your orchestrator resources (containers, images, volumes, networks and more) through a ‘smart’ GUI and/or an extensive API.

Security

  • crowdsec (opens new window) : CrowdSec is a free, modern & collaborative behavior detection engine, coupled with a global IP reputation network. It stacks on fail2ban's philosophy but is IPV6 compatible and 60x faster (Go vs Python), it uses Grok patterns to parse logs and YAML scenarios to identify behaviors. CrowdSec is engineered for modern Cloud / Containers / VM-based infrastructures (by decoupling detection and remediation).

Other

  • certsync : When doing a maintenance on my server, I display a maintenance page hosted on an other machine. I needed to get the SSL certificate running on my server up to date on the other one. Since this certificate is managed by traefik, I am running a job every 24 hours that synchronize it.
  • cloudflare-ddns : An other job that keep my record DNS up to date with my IP every 24 hours
