  • Installing WordPress on Docker Behind an Nginx Reverse Proxy

    That title is quite the mouthful but it has to be as this particular set up has a couple of gotchas in it. I assume that you have Docker installed and that the firewall is correctly configured as detailed in this earlier guide. I can’t stress enough, you have to have proved that the firewall…

  • Setting up an Nginx Reverse Proxy with Certbot Under Docker

    I’m assuming you have the containers you want to reverse proxy to already set up and running correctly. Initial Setup Create a directory and file structure like the one shown below.

  • Installing Docker on Debian with nftables

    I’m going to assume you have a working and secured Debian install, I’ll be starting from where this article ended.

  • Task Management with Vikunja

    Vikunja is a task / project management application. The unpronounceable name apparently comes from a relative of the llama, overlooking the name for a moment this appears to be a great application.
