Box — Docker shell server
A couple of months ago I had the great idea to set up a shell server in Docker. Simply because my docker skillz were quite rusty and a shell server was something I actually genuinely needed. Shell servers… so 2005. I remember in the good old IRC days people asking for (free) shell servers to…

Postfix & Courier & Letsencrypt
First of all, create your certificates (the regular way). I created one with multiple domains: webmail.rootspirit.com, mail.rootspirit.com, smtp.rootspirit.com. In my case, as the mailserver and webserver are behind a proxy (postfix, imap, Roundcube Webmail), I create the certificate on the proxy (nginx) and scp the cert to the mail server. All this is automated with…

Gmail & Postfix: unencrypted emails?

Theme, blog, and stuff
As you noticed… Or perhaps didn’t notice, I’ve started using a new, simplistic theme a couple of days ago. Kinda thought it might be too simplistic (I’ve hidden the sidebar, there’s no search or archive, etc), but I started to, you know, get attached to it. So it’s here to stay, for a year or…

Zero
Big grats to good old Zero and its one year uptime! 😉

Four
Has a year uptime as well! Yay 😉 It’s the one at the bottom. Running Ubuntu as OS (Dom0) and several Xen virtual machines (such as the nginx reverse proxy cache of this blog). Four is a dual core Xeon with 8Gb RAM.
