VPS Server 🗄️

Date: 21-02-2025

Introduction

If you have read any of my posts in the past, you may know of my aspiration to host my website and email server on a VPS. Well, that day has come! Finally.

So far my VPS (virtual private server) is doing three things:

Why host an email server ?

A better question would be why not host an email server. When you sign up for Gmail or Protonmail you give them full trust over your email communications. Well, I trust myself way more than any company to handle my personal communications. Sadly, I can only receive emails until I can get some ports unblocked, but I am happy as is!

Why host a git server ?

I will be honest: the main reason why I host a git server is because it is really kool, in my opinion; it has enabled me to learn more about git as a program. It is also good to have a backup server to Gitlab !

Sadly, I am very tired of trying to get git cloning over HTTPS or HTTP working. Plus, if I did this, people could use up all my allowed bandwidth out of spite. So, for now, only I and people I allow will be able to clone and push to my Git server!

Overview

Overall, I am just happy to have a whole server that I can use for whatever I want! This has opened up a whole new world for me of tinkering and stress. I hope this VPS serves me well!
