Self-hosted services

A look at the tools I run on Red October and what I use them for.

Red October runs on Ubuntu Server. I use Docker and Portainer for many of the applications and keep backup jobs separate from the services they protect.

• Nextcloud gives me access to files and documents across devices.
• Stirling PDF gives me a browser interface for everyday PDF tasks.
• Duplicati runs scheduled backups of selected data.

The lab is where I test how an application fits into my setup before relying on it. For me, a service is ready to use once I know where its data lives and how I’d recover it.
