Mid 2022, a friend of mine helped me set up a selfhosted Vaultwarden instance. Since then, my “infrastructure” has not stopped growing, and I’ve been learning each and every day about how services work, how they communicate and how I can move data from one place to another. It’s truly incredible, and my favorite hobby by a long shot.

Here’s a map of what I’ve built so far. Right now, I’m mostly done, but surely time will bring more ideas. I’ve also left out a bunch of “technically revelant” connections like DNS resolution through the AdGuard instance, firewalls and CrowdSec on the main VPS.

Looking at the setups that others have posted, I don’t think this is super incredible - but if you have input or questions about the setup, I’ll do my best to explain it all. None of my peers really understand what it takes to construct something like this, so I am in need of people who understand my excitement and proudness :)

    What is seedbox? Is it part of the homelab or a service like the VPSs?

      its basically a VPS that comes with torrenting software preinstalled. Depending on hoster and package, you’ll be able to install all kinds of webapps on the server. Some even enable Plex/Jellyfin on the more expensive plans.

        How do you do the sshfs mount, tracker and search queries? Is that over tailscale?

          The rclone mount works via SSH credentials. Torrent files and tracker searches run over simple HTTPS, since both my torrent client and jackett expose public APIs for these purposes, so I can just enter the web address of these endpoints into the apps running on my homelab.

          Sidenote, since you said sshfs mount: I tried sshfs, but has significantly lower copy speeds than with rclone mount. Might have been a misconfiguration, but it was more time efficient to use rclone than trying to debug my sshfs connection speed.

            I have noticed very slow speeds with sshfs as well. I’ll have to give rclone mount over ssh a try. Thanks!
