My Move to Hugo

Long gone are my days of hosting my website using a dynamic web content management system like Wordpress or some custom PHP thing. My needs are simple and a static site generator is perfect. A couple years ago, I was trying to decide which one to choose and started with Pelican and it worked fine but I wanted something that felt a little more modern. Enter Hugo.

Password Management with Bitwarden

In a past life, I managed both Lastpass and 1Password. Neither of them were something I wanted to use personally, so I was looking for something better.

In the mean time, I was using KeePassXC stored in Google Drive. And Holly and I also had a shared Keepass file stored in a shared directory so we could share passwords between us.

But then I learned about Bitwarden.

Wireguard: Home VPN Server

I used to use OpenVPN as a means to connect to my internal network from outside of my house. It worked really well, but managing its configs was a little bit of a hassle and, frankly, OpenVPN is old news (/s). I wanted to play with a new toy.

So I looked into Wireguard.

Server Config

Since I use Home Assistant and it has Add-Ons available available, I decided to use its Wireguard Add-On.

Centralized Bookmarks with Linkding

As I mentioned in my Qutebrowser article, my browser doesn’t have the ability to share bookmarks with my other browsers. I run Chrome on my phone and Chrome on my Chromebook. And I have a second Linux laptop that also runs Qutebrowser.

I needed a solution to share bookmarks between them. And I settled on Linkding.

My Search

I looked through Reddit r/selfhost and scoured the web looking at different self-hosted bookmark services I could run at home.
