I have finally got my selfhost wiki up to a satisfying shape. Its here: https://wiki.gardiol.org

Take a look i hope it can help somebody.

I am open to any suggestions about it.

Note: the most original part is the one about multi-homed routing and failbacks and advanced routing.

    Thanks for sharing, very cool stuff in there and great job ! Bookmarked !

    While reading through your reverse proxy concept post, I think this statement is wrong:

    As a sub-domain:
    - Cons: require additional certificates for HTTPS/SSL for each sub-domain
    

    There are actually wildcard SAN certificates where you can access all your subdomains with a single certificate: https://*.mydomain.com

    Or you can add all your subdomains in a single certificate.

    Great work and thanks for sharing !

      using wildcards is really bad security practice. and at age of ACME absolutely unnecessary.

        Can you elaborate on why it is a bad security practice? It’s the first time I’m reading about it and I’d like to read more about it. Thanks!

          One of the risks associated with wildcard SSL certificates is the increased attack surface they introduce. If one subdomain becomes compromised, it opens the door for potential attackers to gain unauthorized access to all subdomains secured under the wildcard certificate. (first google link)

            While this argument is valid for a larger domain, it doesn’t really matter for the small selfhoster.
