As WordPress grows and as my comfort with Hugo increases I question whether to move my blog from Infomaniak to being self-hosted on a Pi. I know that the Pi is not powerful but my site doesn’t get much traffic so I don’t think that it will be overwhelmed with traffic.<\/p>\n

I have slightly less than three weeks to decide whether to make the leap or not. The Hugo part of my blog is easy to migrate because it’s a static site. It’s the WordPress stack that is just a little more fiddly to move. I could start the experiment this afternoon.<\/p>\n

I was self-hosting Immich, Audiobookshelf and Photoprism reliably before I decided to place them back behind the firewall, out of the DMZ. I did this because no one else was accessing audiobookshelf so, via tailscale I have an added layer of security.<\/p>\n

From what I see I need to use cname records to connect one domain name to a subdomain and it will work as I want it to.<\/p>\n

When I set things up correctly it will give me more freedom to add services. When I was playing with Laravel and other solutions I was blocked by what the current host allowed me to do. with self-hosting I could setup a Laravel or other framework with more freedom.<\/p>\n

It would also give me as much space as I want, as long as I find a way to backup the data and bring the site back up in case of issues. That was why I was tempted to change host a few years ago.<\/p>\n

And finally this is about learning by tinkering and it is just an idea, for now. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
