A personal Ubuntu server and a place to understand the full life of a digital service: deployment, networking, visibility and maintenance.

PERSONAL CLOUD / 02UBUNTU + DOCKER

The host. Ubuntu Server is the foundation.

01

Overview

A personal Ubuntu server and a place to understand the full life of a digital service: deployment, networking, visibility and maintenance.

02

The problem

Hosting can become a black box. When a service slows down or stops, I want to understand which layer needs attention.

03

The idea

Build a small environment I can inspect. Keep public websites separate from private tools and make operational information easy to understand.

04

The system

Ubuntu provides the host. Docker organizes services. Monitoring connects compute, storage and network observations. The topology shown here is illustrative.

05

Design approach

A useful dashboard prioritizes signals over decoration. CPU, memory, container state and disk health should answer specific questions.

06

Technology

Ubuntu Server, Docker, Nginx, private networking with Tailscale, dashboard experiments and monitoring concepts.

07

The challenges

A system must be observable without making its administration public. Configuration, access boundaries and recoverability matter as much as uptime.

08

Experiments

Exploring CPU and RAM statistics, container information, network activity and storage-health / SMART information.

09

Current status

Ongoing personal infrastructure practice. This portfolio exposes no live metrics, management URLs, credentials or administration controls.

10

Next steps

Improve documentation and repeatable deployment. Continue exploring monitoring and backup practices, with private services kept private.
