Self-Hosting

-

Ever since enrolling in a Computer Science degree I had the idea to have my own website. -Many of my friends had their own webpages, which naturally made me want one too. -After installing Archlinux on my first Lenovo ThinkPad X250 in June 2024 I got the idea of having a website hosted on my own server running Linux. -During the academic year I undertook the challenge to make it work, and here is how I did it.

-

First, I knew I needed hardware that could run an operating system 24/7 and with a connection to the Internet. -My friends often just reconfigured their old PC’s, however I did not have one, so I had to think of other alternatives, and that is how I came up with the idea of using a Raspberry PI 5. -I bought the fifth model as an entire starter-pack with 8GB of RAM, fancy enclosure and an extra cooling module. -The entire specification is available here, some of the most important details are listed below:

- -

After the hardware has arrived, following the assembly guide and putting the pieces together the RPI was ready. -Unfortunately I realized too late that in order to interact with the device itself I needed an external display and a keyboard (according to the guide), both of which I did not have.

-

Fortunately, Raspberry PI provides a method to install an operating system on the SD card directly by connecting it to a laptop. -This is done using the rpi-imager tool available in the Arch repository. -I selected Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) for aarch64, and added my public ssh key, so that I can access the system as the selected user. -Once the installation was done, I had a working computer, however still no means to access it remotely yet. -How I figured that out will be updated in a later blog post, when I have a bit more time to explain the process of configuring a static IP, Dynamic DNS and Nginx web server.
