A howto guide on setting up a simple and secure blog server using haproxy to serve https, hugo to serve the website, cerbot to generate the tls certificate, and crowdsec for defense
This is my first post on my new site, I hope someone finds it helpful!
Nice. I might have to clone that setup for fun. What do you use for CI? I’ve got jenkins running but I’ve been wanting to play with gitlab CI/CD too.
I do a lot of my dev work in docker containers, simply so I’m in a clean environment. Doesn’t hurt in ease of backup either. No particular reason not to use docker, I also wanted to keep it kind of brief and simple. The guide I originally read that inspired me had a lot of things that were very outdated, and as I worked through getting it working on debian 12 I generally stuck with the source providers instructions when things weren’t already packaged for dpkg, or alternatives were more complex.
I am currently mulling around doing extensions on this guide and adding links at the bottom, or just extending this one a bit. Also just thinking about writing a guide for other stuff too. I’ve been helping people on discord and irc a bit recently and some of what I know might be useful to someone.
I don’t know everything by any means far from it, but I’ve been around since my first beOS and slackware installs a long time ago and I’ve picked up a lot. I worked developing and deploying pfsense images for a company years ago and have just had a lot of random experience in linux and bsds over the years.

For CI I currently use GitLab, but I want to move it to another git server (and therefore CI) in case they actually sell.
