Welcome to the first blog post where I outline how the lab has been setup.
I am using pangolin to do a tunneled reverse proxy. It’s a server that lets me map applications on my home network through to a domain I own.
The domain I aquired through porkbun. This was the first time I purchased a domain, and the process was fairly streamlined. With the domain, I can host applications such as pangolin on subdomains - e.g. pangolin.kenyon.app.
The server I am using to run this is through racknerd. I don’t have a lot of application needs at this point in time, so a modest 1vCPU + 1GB RAM + 20 GB SSD was sufficient for my needs. The rate is pretty reasonable - coming in at about $10 USD annually.
The first application I wanted to prove out was using artifactory to self-host an artifact repository for any of my C++ packages. The community edition lets users upload generic archives (e.g. zip, tgz, bz) and has a specific repository for conan packages.
