Glance: setting up a self-hosted home page for your browser

There’s this cool thing called self-hosted home pages. I saw them somewhere on Reddit a while back, saved them to bookmarks, and now that I have all this self-hosted stuff with NAS (see FreeBSD: Home NAS, part 1), Grafana, and other useful things for work and daily life – I thought it would be nice…

Raspberry Pi: first experience and installation of Raspberry Pi OS Lite

For those who don’t follow updates in the Telegram channel rtfmcoua or are visiting my blog for the first time, a reminder that for the last couple of months I’ve been building a “self-hosted home stack”, which already includes a couple of MikroTik devices and a ThinkCentre running FreeBSD. On the ThinkCentre / FreeBSD I…

FreeBSD: Home NAS, part 12: synchronizing data with Syncthing

I’m gradually getting closer to wrapping up the home NAS setup on FreeBSD. There’s already a ZFS pool, datasets, and monitoring – time to start setting up backup automation. But what seemed pretty simple at first – “just copy the needed directories from the work laptop” – turned out to be an increasingly interesting problem…

Backblaze: A First Look at B2 Cloud Storage

This post is technically part of the home NAS setup series on FreeBSD (see the beginning here – FreeBSD: Home NAS, part 1 – ZFS mirror setup), but I’ll publish it separately. I already have backup automation configured (there will be posts about that too), and right now data from the NAS is pushed to…

MikroTik: WireGuard VPN Setup and Linux Peer Configuration

Another one of the many nice features of MikroTik – built-in WireGuard support (although even cheap TP-Link Archers have it). In my setup, the MikroTik RB4011 acts as a “VPN Hub” – all clients connect to it and are united into a single network, and the role of VPN is slightly exaggerated is genuinely important…

FreeBSD: Home NAS, Part 13: Planning Data Storage and Backups

When I was just starting to build my NAS and thinking about backups, everything seemed pretty simple: there’s a work laptop with data, there’s a FreeBSD server for the NAS – just take and copy the data. So the initial idea was to have backup script(s) on Linux hosts that would push data to the…
