Designed and managed a self-hosted Linux infrastructure running 13 containerized services behind a secure reverse proxy with automated SSL and network isolation.
I designed and maintain a self-hosted Linux server running 13 containerized services using Docker.
The setup includes:
- Reverse proxy management with Nginx Proxy Manager
- Domain-based routing
- Automatic SSL certificates via Let’s Encrypt
- Isolated Docker networks for secure service communication
- Firewall configuration and server hardening
- Persistent volumes and container lifecycle management
This environment allows me to simulate production-level deployment workflows and continuously experiment with open-source technologies.

- OS: Debian Linux
- Containerization: Docker & Docker Compose
- Reverse Proxy: Nginx Proxy Manager
