Services (The Third Time)

2025-12-14

This is an update to my services articles.

Baremetal infrastructure

My main infrastructure is now hosted on one small server in my living room, connected to a UPS.

This server (name starbaseone) is a modified M5 PLUS box, with the following specifications

• AMD Ryzen 7 5825U 8C-16T (4.55GHz)
• 32 GB of DDR4 RAM
• 512 GB of NVME SSD storage

I installed Proxmox VE on it and created two VMs

• Galaxy which like its namesake is the replacement of Ambassador
  • With 8 threads; 20GB of RAM; and 256GB of storage
• Daystrom which is a internal network only VM made to run Home Assistant.
  • With 4 threads; 8GB of RAM; and 32GB of storage

VPS Infrastructure

My main VPS is Galaxy.

I have another server on Hetzner, it is only used for its sheer reliance to be online 24/7.

• Miranda (2vCPU (shared), 4GB of RAM)

Miranda is hosted on the Hetzner datacentre in Helsinki, Finland.

I run on Galaxy:

• A Git Forge as well as a runner
• An instance of Cinny (matrix client)
• A NextCloud Instance (you can request an account by email)
• My Home Page
• A LLDAP Instance
• A Jitsi Instance
• My ActualBudget server
• A Tinyauth server
• A Whiteboard
• Monitoring
  • Prometheus
  • Grafana

Then on Daystrom there is the Home Assistant instance of the flat.

And finally on Miranda:

• A conduwuit (matrix server) instance (faefox.dev)
• A service status page
• My Tutoring Website

Backups

Backups are made each day at T0400 Europe/Paris on a S3-compatible bucket.

For the data to completely disappear it would need an explosion of some sort in Rennes, and a nuke in Europe on the Hetzner glacier.

I thus decided that we were sufficiently secured, of course if a nuke is launched on France, I might very well die, which mean the fact the data is safe is not very important anymore, because I’d be dead. But so is life you know.

And oh yes, it is also on my NAS, which will soon have a backup. I’m not paranoid about data retention ;).

Hostnames

• My personal laptop is Defiant (because it’s tough, and little)
• My personal phone is Danube-II (I replaced my trusty S21 by a S24 FE)
• My NAS is Olympic
• My baremetal server is StarbaseOne
• VPSes are:
  • Galaxy
  • Miranda
  • Daystrom

Plans for the future

Now that I have a good server, I might add another node to the PVE, but future money will go towards getting/constructing a modern NAS. With the following specifications

• 5 Bays
• 5x8TB NAS Hard Drive
• RAID5
• Support for SMB, NFSv4
• A good amount of RAM for caching
• A SSD for caching too
