The end of this year I wanted to finally get a video doorbell that I could hook up to home-assistant. I had a few requirements: The doorbell would be able to operate completely offline, with no cloud services. This is partially because the big companies have started handing over your...

About a year ago I wanted to expand beyond namecheap's simple "email forwarding" service and start setting up my own mailboxes. At the time, I was looking for a solution that I could host on my docker swarm (obviously). And the defacto suggestion for a self-hosted solution was docker-mailserver. That...

It's a fairly common need to extract a certificate and key from traefik to use it for other reasons. In my case, I needed to grab a certificate for an existing domain and use it for my mail-server. There's a bunch of very complex examples to dump all certificates, and...

Docker Swarm...

After putting off the work for a year or so, I finally went through the effort to migrate my docker swarm to Traefik v2. There isn't anything by default that I needed, but I intended to migrate eventually, and it has some new features like TCP and UDP forwarding and...
