#kiwix — Public Fediverse posts

Spent the morning yesterday learning about #ngnix reverse proxy, #TLS self-signed certificates, and DH.

Some of my zim libraries needed HTTPS for service workers on my #kiwix server. My setup is admittedly a bit hacky, but it works! Since it will only ever run on my LAN, I set up local DNS records in #PiHole to point to the server, and NGINX to redirect to the proper port.

Now with everything set up, I can type the domain, and everything "just works" instead of typing in an IP:port number like I've been doing.

I still have a lot to learn, but it's been fun building this home network from the ground up! Just wanted to share here with Fedi friends because my wife has no idea what I'm talking about and just asks me to stop :stallman:
