The Homelab Show was a good one, though they haven’t posted a new podcast in almost a year. Lawrence Systems and Learn Linux TV are the makers of it and have their own content as well
What’s your solution? PiHole? The thing I don’t like about the PiHole is the lack of wildcard domain rewrites. I’ve been playing with AdGuard Home and Unbound, not sure what my final solution will be, though.
Yeah I’ve been toying with FreeIPA for IdM, Keycloak for SSO, and Netbird to create a zero trust internal network. DNS is the hurdle I’m currently figuring my way over
I’ve been playing with Stalwart-Email as a combined SMTP/IMAP server. Its open source and written in rust, still pretty early in development and I haven’t played with it enough to give any real opinion on the pluses or minuses compared to other software, but its worth taking a look at.
Do you recommend any resources about this? I’d be interested in learning how to implement this.
While I normally agree on #2, it doesnt really apply to Tailscale. Tailscale isn’t completely free, they have a free tier to generate business but it’s limited to 3 users per tailnet. Also its cryptographically impossible for them to snoop on your traffic.
Can you make the domain somehow personalized to you so you can say its for an online resume to further your education and employability? If you happen to host other personal stuff that won’t cost you anything extra, just make sure you have a fancy looking CV at the root.
I just set up a security camera for my dad’s office: zoneminder running the webcam and tailscale for access anywhere.
FreeIPA and Keycloak will give you directory management (LDAP and Kerberos), identity management, and single-sign on (OIDC and SAML) which if all your computers are running Linux as well, will give you centralized management of users.
You can then set other FOSS business management/productivity applications like NextCloud, Oodoo, Seafile, OnlyOffice, LibreOffice, CryptPad, etc. To use Keycloak as its authentication mechanism.
A lot of this will depend on what kind of work the business does.
You’ll also want to look into log management and SEIM for security monitoring, Wazuh, Graylog, and others. This is especially true if the business has any data compliancy responsibilities in the country this is in.
