moving a homelab from .de to .in without breaking the tunnel
I moved my whole homelab from a .de domain to a .in one. The tunnel, the DNS, Vaultwarden, and one SQLite scare that nearly ate my status page. Here is how it went.
I went on a trip. My Mac mini stayed home and kept texting me.
I left town for a few days. The Mac mini stayed back, ran on its own, took orders from my phone, and pinged me about everything. This is what that felt like.
Pointing vinelabs.de at my Mac mini through a Cloudflare Tunnel
I had a domain. I had a homelab. A Cloudflare Tunnel was the simplest way to make them point at each other, without opening a single port on my home router.
My Raspberry Pi could not carry the dream. A 2018 Mac mini could.
I wanted a small army of agents running 24x7 and a place to host all my homelab apps. The Pi was never going to do it. A colleague handed me his 2018 Mac mini and the whole thing took shape in one sitting.
