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?
# Existing setup

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
