Michael Stapelberg: My 2025 Linux + Go self-hosting stack

media.ccc.de/v/gpn23-118-my-2025-linux-go-self-hos…

I’ll show you how I use Go to run my entire home, including not just home automation but also tiny single-purpose appliances (with my gokrazy appliance platform, using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W or larger), hosting private web services on mini PC servers, going all the way to a powerful 25 Gbit/s FTTH internet router which now serves all my web sites!

Some of us have been self-hosting for many years, others never got into it. There are a number of good reasons for self-hosting, as it typically gives you more control and stability compared to commercial offerings.

I used to self-host a lot, then migrated many use-cases to commercial services, but now the pendulum has swung back! The landscape has changed over the last 10+ years and I now have experience with what works well and what doesn’t.

In this talk, I’ll show you some of the solutions I have developed myself, such as the gokrazy.org/ appliance platform for Raspberry Pis and PCs, but also some standard solutions and how I set them up, like the Caddy web server or CoreDNS server.
