&lt;p&gt;I can now officially announce it: I have crossed the Rubicon of &lt;code&gt;self-hosting&lt;/code&gt;—the act of hosting one&amp;rsquo;s own server(s) and/or Internet service(s) at home for ALL my Internet tools.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For several years, I had been experimenting and testing various solutions to host services on dedicated servers or directly at home. Some of my customers have used some of them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would regularly reopen the file as the anniversary date of my hosting contract approached for the email and web servers.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Veni, vidi, abii</title><link>https://blog.marcjestin.fr/en/posts/veni-vidi-abii/</link><pubDate>Tue, 05 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://blog.marcjestin.fr/en/posts/veni-vidi-abii/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yesterday and last night, I installed a &lt;code&gt;glitch-soc&lt;/code&gt; &lt;code&gt;Mastodon&lt;/code&gt; instance on my server.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It wasn&amp;rsquo;t exactly a walk in the park, but I eventually got it done.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I took the opportunity to learn and to uncover a few flaws, if not bugs, in &lt;code&gt;Dokploy&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 class="relative group"&gt;Learning and Know-how
 &lt;div id="learning-and-know-how" class="anchor"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
 
 &lt;span
 class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 -start-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100 select-none"&gt;
 &lt;a class="text-primary-300 dark:text-neutral-700 !no-underline" href="#learning-and-know-how" aria-label="Anchor"&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;
 &lt;/span&gt;
 
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I only deployed this tool to learn how to do it.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>De Profundis</title><link>https://blog.marcjestin.fr/en/posts/de-profundis/</link><pubDate>Mon, 04 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://blog.marcjestin.fr/en/posts/de-profundis/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Orion and I once again crossed paths with that lady and her dog, which clearly suffers from a &lt;code&gt;behavioral disorder&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I fear the dog isn&amp;rsquo;t the only one exhibiting &lt;code&gt;behavioral issues&lt;/code&gt;&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 class="relative group"&gt;Initial Aggressions
 &lt;div id="initial-aggressions" class="anchor"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
 
 &lt;span
 class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 -start-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100 select-none"&gt;
 &lt;a class="text-primary-300 dark:text-neutral-700 !no-underline" href="#initial-aggressions" aria-label="Anchor"&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;
 &lt;/span&gt;
 
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This dog has already charged Orion in aggressive mode several times.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first time it happened, Orion and I were playing peacefully, as we usually do during our walks on a path between the fields. I was throwing the ball and Orion was fetching it. This dog came out of nowhere from behind us, running at full speed. It headed straight for Orion and attacked him for the first time.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>My First Post</title><link>https://blog.marcjestin.fr/en/posts/my-first-post/</link><pubDate>Sun, 03 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://blog.marcjestin.fr/en/posts/my-first-post/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello and welcome to this new blog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I chose to use the &lt;code&gt;Hugo&lt;/code&gt; content management engine and static site generator, paired with &lt;code&gt;Caddy&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Everything is deployed within a &lt;code&gt;Docker&lt;/code&gt; infrastructure managed by &lt;code&gt;Dokploy&lt;/code&gt;. In this setup, &lt;code&gt;Caddy&lt;/code&gt; is used solely for the rapid rendering of static pages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The server&amp;rsquo;s reverse proxy is &lt;code&gt;Traefik&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I still haven&amp;rsquo;t managed to get my &lt;code&gt;gitea&lt;/code&gt; actions running correctly for automatic updates upon &lt;code&gt;commit&lt;/code&gt;, but that should be fixed soon. 😉&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
