SSH Into Docker Container

Fri, Oct 18, 2024
Secure Shell (SSH) is a widely supported protocol used for remotely making administrative connections to another computer on the network. It enables individuals to access a different computer and run commands through a terminal as if they were physically with the system. SSH is invaluable for system administrators, developers, and network engineers. In this article, we will explore two methods to SSH into Docker containers and discuss best practices for managing SSH within Docker environments.

How to Self-Host Any LLM – Step by Step Guide

Mon, Sep 8, 2025
Self-hosting LLMs is no longer just for infra teams. With tools like Ollama and Open WebUI, you can run capable models on your own machine, keep conversations private, and avoid unpredictable API bills. For developers, founders, and small teams, this setup gives you more control without adding much operational complexity. In this guide, you will build a local AI stack using Ollama + Open WebUI on Docker. By the end, you will have a ChatGPT-style interface running on your system, with an optional secure way to share it outside your local network.

Self-hosting Obsidian

Sun, Sep 14, 2025
Obsidian Sync costs $5/month. You can replace it with a CouchDB container, the Self-hosted LiveSync community plugin, and a tunnel to reach the database from outside your home network. I run mine in Docker with Pinggy as the tunnel; total monthly cost is zero. This post walks through the setup, end to end. LiveSync does most of the heavy lifting. It speaks CouchDB’s replication protocol directly, so edits propagate in a second or two and conflicts get resolved on the client without manual merges.

Self-Hosting a Note-Taking Application with Memos and Pinggy

Wed, Dec 31, 2025
Cloud-based note-taking apps are convenient, but they come with trade-offs: recurring subscription fees, privacy concerns, and vendor lock-in. What if you could have a powerful, modern note-taking experience while keeping complete control of your data? That’s exactly what Memos offers an open-source, self-hosted note-taking service that puts privacy first. In this guide, we’ll walk through setting up Memos using Docker and then use Pinggy to make it accessible from anywhere on the internet.

Self-Hosted Cloud Storage, Calendar and Contacts with OxiCloud

Wed, Mar 11, 2026
Cloud storage, calendar synchronization, and contact management are three of the most personal categories of data you can have. Every time you sync your photos to Google Drive, schedule an event in Google Calendar, or store a contact in iCloud, that data flows through servers you don’t control, under privacy policies that can change overnight. For developers and privacy-conscious users alike, this is an uncomfortable trade-off that has long felt unavoidable until now.

How to Self-Host Langflow and Access It Remotely

Thu, Mar 12, 2026
Building custom AI agents used to require deep knowledge of LangChain internals, prompt engineering, and API wiring. Langflow changes that by giving you a visual drag-and-drop canvas where you can compose AI workflows from components LLMs, vector stores, tools, memory, APIs and instantly deploy them as REST endpoints. It runs entirely on your own machine, so your data never leaves your infrastructure. The catch with any self-hosted tool is remote access.

Build an AI Job Search Agent with Langflow, Docker, and Discord

Tue, Apr 7, 2026
If you are applying to roles actively, the slowest part is usually not writing applications. It is searching, filtering, and checking job boards repeatedly. This flow solves that with a self-hosted AI agent: your resume is parsed once, jobs are collected from multiple sources, and only relevant openings are sent to Discord in real time. This rewrite uses a cleaner production-style structure so you can build quickly and still keep the system maintainable.

Self-Host Open Notebook: Run Your Own Private NotebookLM Alternative

Sat, Jun 6, 2026
Google’s NotebookLM is genuinely useful. Feed it a pile of PDFs, research papers, or meeting transcripts and it produces surprisingly good summaries, answers questions with citations, and - its most viral feature - generates a podcast-style audio discussion of your material. A lot of researchers and indie hackers I know use it daily. The friction is the obvious one: your documents go to Google. That’s fine for public papers, but uncomfortable for anything proprietary - client work, unpublished research, internal strategy docs, personal notes.
