The setup scripts for my home … thingy.

Right now, this thing serves a disparate set of purposes. They don't really all belong together.

• Unifi Controller for my home network
• Time Machine backups via SMB
• An SMB server. It seems kind of broken; Finder eventually forgets how to use resources that had been previously connected.
• An http server, with SSL, for lactobasilisk.com

This is an old intel NUC that I salvaged from a work project that was getting rid of spare hardware. The CPU is unknown, and it's got 8GB of RAM.

It's running Ubuntu (currently 20.04), and its OS is installed on a 120GB NVMe flash drive. This drive is configured for LVM, but it's just a solo volume.

User data is stored on a 500GB OCz Vertex 3, mounted on /home.

Time machine backups are stored on a 2TB USB3 hard drive.

The Unifi controller is run via docker. I built it around a container I found that seems fairly popular.

A straightforward nginx server.

Letsencrypt is used to get an SSL certificate, currently via the certbot tool. I don't love this tool because it manually fiddles with the nginx config, and it isn't fully automatable via ansible. I'll have to figure out a better approach.

In the future I should figure out a better approach.
