<h1>Servers & Networking</h1>
<p>
Open source and networking hobbies led me to depoly a set of
interconnected Linux servers:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3>NGINX Reverse Proxy and VPN Server</h3>
<p>
This server is the internets access to all of my other servers,
and the glue holding them together. I was using IPTables briefly
but have moved to NGINX to forward traffic from specified ports
onto private servers connected to it. This device doubles as a <a
href="https://www.wireguard.com/">Wireguard VPN</a
> server which in the past connected servers on the same virtual
network, however I have switched to reverse ssh tunnels to connect
other servers to this one. The VPN is still useful for odd networking
tasks and troubleshooting.

<h3>Lightweight Server</h3>
<p>
Running on Raspberry Pi, this servers main job is to run
Subterstrike servers, Minecraft servers, other game servers, and
this website you're looking at.

<h3>AI & FTP Server</h3>
<p>
A powerful computer with an RX 6950 XT GPU runs my local
generative AI servers including <a
href="https://invoke-ai.github.io/InvokeAI/">Invoke AI</a
>
for Image Generation,
<a href="https://ollama.com/?ref=useaiforit">Ollama</a>
and <a href="https://docs.openwebui.com/">Open-WebUI</a> for LLM
services. As this is also my primary device with a few spare
terabytes of NVMe storage it contains a
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vsftpd"
>VSFTPD file server</a
>. By the way, this server runs on
<a href="https://archlinux.org/"><i>Arch Linux</i></a> :)

<h3>Derelict Laptop Promoted to Server</h3>
<p>
An ancient gaming laptop with significantly more computational
performance than physical durability was promoted to server,
where it runs my <a href="https://nextcloud.com/about/"
>Nextcloud</a
>
self hosted office suite. While originally this was a 'because I
can' project, I felt justified when I later saw
<a
href="https://www.digitaljournal.com/tech-science/microsoft-says-u-s-law-takes-precedence-over-canadian-data-sovereignty/article"
>Microsoft announcing USA demands come before Canadian
privacy</a
>.
