The goal was to experiment, learn, and document every step along the way. This is purely a scientific project and is not intended for production use. A big thanks to **Nipah** for sharing his infinite knowledge and, above all, for his patience. ::alert{type="info"} **Prerequisites:** :::list{type="primary"} - Have [an online VPS](https://www.it-connect.fr/les-serveurs-prives-virtuels-vps-pour-les-debutants/) or a local machine: ideally a mini PC (you can find N100 models for around €100), but it also works on a laptop or [a virtual machine](https://openclassrooms.com/fr/courses/2035806-virtualisez-votre-architecture-et-vos-environnements-de-travail/6313946-installez-virtualbox). The [Freebox Delta/Ultra offer virtual machines](https://next.ink/3493/machines-virtuelles-et-freebox-delta-comment-heberger-votre-premiere-page-web/). - Know how to configure [NAT rules on a router and assign DHCP leases](/general/networking/nat) - Know how to configure the [DNS zone of a domain name](/general/networking/dns) ::: ::

The goal is to be easily deployable and easy to migrate, so here is its structure: ::card-grid{grid-template-columns="repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));"} #title The Core of the Server #root :ellipsis{left=0px width=40rem top=10rem blur=140px} #default ::card{icon=logos:debian} #title __Operating System__ #description [Install and configure Debian 12](/serveex/core/installation) :: ::card{icon=logos:docker-icon} #title __Container Engine__ #description [Install Docker](/serveex/core/docker) :: ::card{icon=carbon:container-registry style="color: rgb(41, 194, 243);" } #title __Docker GUI__ #description [Install and deploy Dockge](/serveex/core/docker#installer-dockge-pour-gérer-et-déployer-les-conteneurs) :: ::card{icon=noto:globe-showing-americas} #title __Reverse Proxy__ #description [Expose your services with SWAG](/serveex/core/swag) :: :: ::card-grid #title Security #root :ellipsis{left=0px width=40rem top=10rem blur=140px} #default ::card{icon=simple-icons:wireguard style="color: #88171a;"} #title __VPN__ #description [Install and deploy Wireguard](/serveex/security/wireguard) :: ::card{icon=noto:key} #title __SSO & MFA__ #description [Install and deploy Authentik](/serveex/security/authentik) :: ::card{icon=logos:cloudflare-icon} #title __Zero Trust__ #description [Install and deploy Cloudflared](/serveex/security/cloudflare) :: :: ::card-grid #title Monitoring #root :ellipsis{left=0px width=40rem top=10rem blur=140px} #default ::card{icon=solar:pulse-linear style="color: rgb(99, 222, 144);"} #title __Service Status__ #description [Install and deploy Uptime-Kuma](/serveex/monitoring/uptime-kuma) :: ::card{icon=lucide:logs style="color: #1AD6FF;"} #title __Log Management__ #description [Install and deploy Dozzle](/serveex/monitoring/dozzle) :: ::card{icon=noto:rabbit style="color: #1AD6FF;"} #title __Connection Management__ #description [Install and deploy Speedtest Tracker](/serveex/monitoring/speedtest-tracker) :: ::card{icon=lucide:chart-column-decreasing style="color:rgb(26, 255, 213);"} #title __Resource Status__ #description [Install and deploy Beszel](/serveex/monitoring/beszel) :: ::card{icon=lucide:circle-power style="color:rgb(228, 117, 117);"} #title __Wake on Lan__ #description [Install and deploy UpSnap](/serveex/monitoring/upsnap) :: :: ::card-grid #title Media #root :ellipsis{left=0px width=40rem top=10rem blur=140px} #default ::card{icon=cbi:plex-alt style="color: rgb(229, 160, 13);"} #title __Media__ #description [Install and deploy Plex](/serveex/media/plex) :: ::card{icon=cbi:qbittorrent style="color: rgb(#2f67ba);"} #title __Seedbox__ #description [Install and deploy Qbittorrent](/serveex/media/qbittorrent) :: :: ::card-grid #title Cloud Drive & Photos #root :ellipsis{left=0px width=40rem top=10rem blur=140px} #default ::card{icon=cib:nextcloud style="color: rgb(0, 104, 161);"} #title __Drive__ #description [Install and deploy Nextcloud](/serveex/cloud/nextcloud) :: ::card{icon=simple-icons:immich style="color: #ed79b5;"} #title __Photos__ #description [Install and deploy Immich](/serveex/cloud/immich) :: :: ::card-grid #title Files & Sharing #root :ellipsis{left=0px width=40rem top=10rem blur=140px} #default ::card{icon=noto:open-file-folder } #title __File Explorer__ #description [Install and deploy file-browser](/serveex/files/file-browser) :: ::card{icon=carbon:share style="color: #47428e;" } #title __Sharing__ #description [Install and deploy Pingvin](/serveex/files/pingvin) :: :: ::card-grid #title Development Tools #root :ellipsis{left=0px width=40rem top=10rem blur=140px} #default ::card{icon=logos:visual-studio-code} #title __Visual Studio Code__ #description [Install and deploy code-server](/serveex/development/code-server) :: ::card{icon=simple-icons:gitea style="color: #9ee773;"} #title __Git Repository__ #description [Install and deploy Gitea](/serveex/development/gitea) :: ::card{icon=noto:hammer-and-wrench } #title __Tools__ #description [Install and deploy IT Tools](/serveex/development/it-tools) :: :: ::card-grid #title Useful Applications #root :ellipsis{left=0px width=40rem top=10rem blur=140px} #default ::card{icon=cbi:adguard style="color: #67b279;"} #title __Ad-blocking DNS and Filters__ #description [Install and deploy Adguard Home](/serveex/apps/adguard) :: ::card{icon=cbi:bitwarden style="color: rgb(25 128 255);" } #title __Password Manager__ #description [Install and deploy Vaultwarden](/serveex/apps/vaultwarden) :: :: ## Coming Soon --- - Homepage, to have all your services at a glance and access them easily - Mkdocs for your documentation - Docus, an alternative to Mkdocs - UpSnap to remotely wake your machines
