Using Coolify as the control center for self-hosted services
Coolify is being used as the main control tool for a self-hosted setup. It was chosen to automate the and work, and it runs on Oracle’s free cloud tier.
The services are split into two groups. Core currently includes Authentik and Headscale, while public web services include a club introduction site, a portfolio, a journal, and more sites to be added later.
The Oracle instance had to be recreated twice because of setup mistakes and one from Oracle’s side. Coolify and Authentik are now set up, and the next steps are setting up Headscale, connecting OPNsense through a Tailscale client, then adding Navidrome and Nextcloud.
