Hardware

My site is hosted on a Raspberry Pi 4 from Mythic Beasts that is located in London, UK.

There is no good reason for this, I just thought it would be cool.

The Pi hosts multiple sites and their assets.

It also manages the TLS certificates for each site.

The Pi only has Network File Storage, which means it’s not great for running Docker containers.

Because of this I run the web server as a binary. NFS is fine for serving static files.

The Pi is on an IPv6-only network and this means users on IPv4-only networks cannot reach it.

I use an IPv4 - IPv6 proxy to make the Pi reachable to all users.
