My project has been specifically developed and tested on Armbian, a community-maintained open-source Debian-based distro. Originally, I planned to include Raspbian, but due to time constraints from my Master’s studies, this has not yet been possible. The configuration script is designed for Debian-based systems and, while untested, should work on others.
For the DNS setup, you’re free to choose any system you’re comfortable with. If you opt for an alternative to my default setup, consider the following to maintain a high security level:
• Implement DNSSEC.
• Utilize virtualization, like Docker, for isolation.
• Ensure a robust configuration of iptables for firewall security.
• Connect your container to the required Docker networks.
As for backups, my system primarily uses cloud storage, but local storage options are viable too. You’ll need to adjust the docker-compose file accordingly. I’ve included a link to the relevant official documentation in the README for guidance.
Yes, this project might be a bit overkill if used in a home-setting, but the norm if employed in offices / any other workplace.
Thank you very much for your feedback!
