Self-Hosting & Infrastructure MOC

Self-Hosting & Infrastructure

Domain hub for running your own services — from VPS provisioning through Docker, Coolify, and n8n, to backup and DNS hardening.


Architecture Overview

The typical stack covered in this vault:

Proxmox → LXC containers → Docker → Coolify → Apps (n8n, WordPress, Ghost, custom)
                    ↓
              Docker directly → Paperless-ngx, Portainer, File Browser

Two paths to deploying apps: through Coolify (managed, Heroku-like) or directly via Docker Compose. Both are documented here.

Key Patterns

DNS hardening is step one. If your VPS DNS isn't filtering malicious domains or encrypting queries, everything downstream is exposed. Start with Fix Hostinger VPS; DNS Filtering & Enable DNS over TLS before deploying anything public-facing.

Coolify simplifies multi-app hosting. Instead of managing Docker Compose files per app, Coolify provides a dashboard, one-click deploys, SSL auto-config, and GitHub-based continuous delivery — all on a single VPS.

Backup before updating. Every guide that involves container updates (n8n, Paperless-ngx, Portainer) follows the same pattern: back up volumes or databases first, then redeploy. The Synology NFS mount is the common backup destination.
