+Title: Making my server completely replacable
+Category: Blog
+Tags: /dev/diary, linux, ancible
+Date: 2018-02-08
+Status: Draft
+
+**This is mostly a draft so far, so maybe pad it a bit more 😉**
+
+I have a virtual server running Arch Linux hosted somewhere in Germany
+which I want to use to host some personal services and toolchains.
+Currently this is done via LXD which I was a fan of for quite a while.
+I am using Zfs as a backend for these containers which means
+that I can do quick snapshots and deduplication between the base systems.
+But...I'm not really sure this is a nice way to do it anymore.
+I would like to run services in Containers just because
+it means that the host can be setup in a more clean way.
+
+But right now there is a lot of manual configuration required because
+I'm struggling with the new way that LXD handles network taps.
+And while I'm gonna have to touch my configs anyways, I thought: why not go a bit further?
+

+Ultimately I want to run a few core services:
+
+ - My website (Also available in early access on Github 😱)
+ - A friend's static website
+ - Gitlab
+ - Bookstack (my wiki)
+ - Matomo (previously Piwik)
+ - Partkeepr (a tool for managing electronic components)
+ - Turtl (a cool evernote clone)
+ - My own Quassel core (instead of using my ex-girlfriend's one 😉)
+
+And maybe some more that I haven't setup yet.
+Including a VPN between my server,
+my NAS and all of my other devices.
+
+# Future setup idea
+
+I have two servers running pretty much all the time:
+
+ - My cloud server
+ - My NAS at home
+
+What I want to get over is having to manually configure containers and \ No newline at end of file
