I have finally got my selfhost wiki up to a satisfying shape. Its here: https://wiki.gardiol.org

Take a look i hope it can help somebody.

I am open to any suggestions about it.

Note: the most original part is the one about multi-homed routing and failbacks and advanced routing.

    Thanks for sharing, very cool stuff in there and great job ! Bookmarked !

    While reading through your reverse proxy concept post, I think this statement is wrong:

    As a sub-domain:
- Cons: require additional certificates for HTTPS/SSL for each sub-domain

    There are actually wildcard SAN certificates where you can access all your subdomains with a single certificate: https://*.mydomain.com

    Or you can add all your subdomains in a single certificate.

    Great work and thanks for sharing !

      using wildcards is really bad security practice. and at age of ACME absolutely unnecessary.

        Can you elaborate on why it is a bad security practice? It’s the first time I’m reading about it and I’d like to read more about it. Thanks!

          One of the risks associated with wildcard SSL certificates is the increased attack surface they introduce. If one subdomain becomes compromised, it opens the door for potential attackers to gain unauthorized access to all subdomains secured under the wildcard certificate. (first google link)

            While this argument is valid for a larger domain, it doesn’t really matter for the small selfhoster.

              Using let’s encrypt certbot is so easy and automated that I never bothered for wildcards anyway, so.

                The advantage of wildcard certificates is that you don’t have to expose each single subdomain over internet. Which is great if you want to have https on local only subdomains.

                  If you still use HTTP for cert verification on ACME, you are doing it wrong. Use DNS-01 only, there is no need to allow any inbound traffic to your servers. and HTTP will not give you wildcard anyway.

    I recently started something similar using bookstack as the software behind.

    Still severely lacking in content but am willing for anyone who has time and something interesting to write in it as long it’s connected to tech, preferably linuc and open source software.

    Here is the link and if anyone want’s to contribhte I’m more than willing to accept a couple editor to grow the content on it.

      Now the big question is: are you an Arch or a Gentoo lover? Just joking.

      Good job! Keep it up
