Self-Hosted services

I used to host my shit myself.

Why? Because it’s funny. At least, for me. Also I like the original spirit of the internet.

Most people rent their digital lives from the cloud. I don’t.

There is a list of services I host for myself and my family needs.

DNS

I use Knot authoritative DNS server to serve my zones.

dig NS +short svyrydiuk.eu shows you

    srv1.svyrydiuk.eu.
    prager.svyrydiuk.eu.
    ns-global.kjsl.com.

Two of them are self-hosted and the third one is free secondary DNS service NS-Global.

I have DNSSEC enabled. See dnsviz report.

Mail

I started to self-host my mail back in 2005. All shit run on my desktop PC powered by Gentoo Linux. I used Postfix as SMTP and pop3d as POP3 server. Did not know about IMAP in 2005.

Currently I use OpenSMTPd + Dovecot.
