Actually, I had thought about a sitemap for my blog before (because I saw some experts' websites had them, and they looked really awesome at first glance), but because I was still a complete newbie back then and my head was empty (including now, as I encounter concepts I don't understand every day and need to keep learning), and there weren't many articles at that time, I felt it was really unnecessary to make one (even if I did, it wouldn't look impressive with only a handful of articles).

However, after several months of accumulation, the number of articles has gradually grown. For first-time visitors to the blog, they will certainly be in the dark about the overall content of the entire website, like looking at a leopard through a tube, seeing only one spot (and not that there is only one spot): they can either only see a specific article through a search engine, or only see the latest few articles when opening the blog homepage, which is why the following comments appeared:

After some self-reflection, I started working on the sitemap. From another perspective, the sitemap also helps me organize the knowledge points I have already written about, making it easier to identify and fill in the gaps.

Technical Temple

In a nutshell, it's all about tinkering with various technologies, divided into the following sections, each with a different focus.

Home Data Center

This section mainly covers the knowledge points (both theoretical and practical) of building a website using your own home broadband and home equipment. Depending on each person's home broadband situation (for example: whether there is a public IP, whether it is an IPv4 or IPv6 public IP, etc.), there are different solutions to choose from. It also includes recommendations for tools and summaries of experience that I find relevant to daily operations and maintenance.

• Why Do You Need and How to Build a Home Data Center? Briefly describe my reasons, methods, and the preparatory work required for building a home data center.
• Hardware Selection Guide Briefly describe the hardware requirements for building a home data center.
• How to choose egress equipment? Briefly describe the requirements for egress equipment in a home data center.
• What exactly can multi-dialing do and how to maximize the benefits of multi-dialing A niche article on how to fully leverage the advantages of multi-dialing. Unfortunately, it's not very useful now; on April 17, multi-dialing left me~.
• Software Environment Selection Guide Briefly describe my choice of software environment for building a home data center.
• A Brief Discussion on Three Virtualization Technologies: Virtual Machine, LXC, and Docker Briefly introduce the differences between the three virtualization technologies involved in the home data center and their respective applicable environments.
• Introduction to the key applications involved in building a home data center Summarize the key applications and their setup methods when building a home data center, which can also serve as a purely technical mini-map.
• Application Access Flow and Knowledge Points Organization Map out the access flow chart of how a visitor's request passes through the CDN and finally enters the home data center when accessing an application published via CDN.
• Application Publishing: Reverse Proxy (Part 1)、Application Publishing: Reverse Proxy (Part 2) Introduce one of the key technologies in the home data center: the working principle and some key parameters of reverse proxy. The specific methods of setting up reverse proxies are in other sections. Although there is overlap between different sections, this is done to keep the classification clear.
• Leverage Cloudflare for free via domestic ICP-filed cloud hosts to achieve fast access to domestic sites from abroad Configure Cloudflare to pull origin via the public network, using the cloud host as the origin server. However, it doesn't seem very meaningful now, as public network origin pull is too obvious. Now, using Cloudflare Tunnel to build websites is more recommended. Keeping a low profile is key: enter the village quietly, don't shoot.
• Use Tunnel technology to allow home broadband without a public IP to leverage Cloudflare for free to achieve fast website building (Recommended) Now, regardless of whether your home broadband has a public IP, if you use Cloudflare, I recommend using the Tunnel method to build your website. Safety first.
• Solve the problem of having a public IP but no legal ports 80 and 443 for website building through Cloudflare's Origin Rules If your home broadband has a public IP, besides the Tunnel method, you can technically also use the public network origin pull method. However, because major ISPs are currently strictly inspecting inbound HTTP(S) traffic on broadband, if you must use public network origin pull, it is recommended to use an ICP-filed domain name with HTTPS.
• Precautions for building websites using home broadband with public IP Recently, major ISPs have been making frequent moves, and the situation is quite tight. Therefore, I have summarized some precautions for building websites in a home data center with a public IP.
• Discussion on Inbound Access Solutions for Home Broadband IPv6 Public Addresses Hardware and software selection, as well as common technical points involved when building a home data center with home broadband that has a public IPv6 address.
• Using Docker to Build a Simplified Public IPv6 Inbound Access Gateway Based on Lucky Build the simplest IPv6 inbound gateway with Lucky as the core.
• Using Docker to Build Your Own STUN/TURN Server Based on Coturn It can be used in combination with Lucky, usually set up on a cloud server. Of course, home broadband with a public IP can also set it up.
• Home Data Center IPv4/IPv6 Dual-Stack Network Architecture and Application Access Flow Optimization Record the detailed steps of how I renovated my own home data center and optimized IPv4/IPv6 inbound traffic, which also serves as a practical case study of an IPv6 inbound solution.
• Application of virtual networking technology Some flexible ways to use virtual networking technology (taking Tailscale as an example), which is one of the most commonly used underlying technologies in home data centers.
• Operations & Maintenance Tools Guide Organize the tools I commonly use for daily operations and maintenance.
• Tutorial on Using OHTTPS, a One-Stop SSL Certificate Management Tool This article is mainly for friends who use domestic resources to build websites (building websites with Cloudflare doesn't have these troubles). If you have a large number of resources using free SSL certificates (Let's Encrypt), you can achieve one-stop management of these certificates and automatic batch renewal upon expiration through OHTTPS.
• Use Cloudflare to create email aliases with your own domain suffix If you want an email address with your own domain name as the suffix, the easiest way is to use Cloudflare's Email Routing feature. The email receiving experience is exactly the same as spending countless efforts to build your own email server (don't ask me how I know~).
• Using gost to Build Your Own Proxy Server and Forwarding Proxy Chains、Powerful Local Proxy Tool: proxychains(cli)、Using Proxifier to force applications that do not support proxies but need them to go through a proxy (Desktop Version) The so-called "Three Musketeers of Proxy" (a name I coined myself) — if you already have a scientific or magical environment, combining these three software tools with virtual networking technology can achieve scientific or magical freedom at any location and on any terminal.
• Make rational use of Cloudflare WARP to speed up your access to websites (Desktop Version)、Deploying Cloudflare WARP on cloud servers to improve network access speed (Linux CLI version) A tutorial on using WARP on desktop and CLI, which can serve as a backup scientific or magical method. Why use it as a backup instead of the primary method? Because the traffic characteristics are too obvious, it is not recommended as the primary method, and not using an optimized IP will also affect the user experience.
• Deploying Your Own O&M Monitoring System via wgcloud (Part 1): Setup Guide、Deploying Your Own O&M Monitoring System via WGCloud (Part 2): Features A minimalist operations and maintenance monitoring system built by myself, which is quite good in terms of functionality. Although the personal free version only supports 10 nodes per feature, it is barely enough with proper planning.
• Deflowered! Recording the first time my blog was hit by a DDOS attack After the blog was hit by a distributed DDoS attack for the first time, by analyzing the entire attack process, we can see the advantages of Cloudflare's architecture in automatically mitigating such attacks.
• Use GitHub + Cloudflare Pages to build a new home for the WWW navigation page A tutorial on leveraging GitHub and Cloudflare for free to build a static page-based website.

docker

This section mainly consists of tutorials on building and specifically using various Docker containers, and also includes the specific implementation methods of many applications mentioned in the home data center. After all, these are specific applications running in the home data center.

Note: In previous articles, for convenience, I used to directly use # to comment on the function of command parameters in the docker run format. In actual use, if you copy and paste it directly into the CLI to run, it will report an error. Therefore, you need to delete # and the comment content after it first, otherwise it cannot run normally. My apologies.

Linux Panel

This section mainly consists of tutorials on using the BT Panel to implement certain features, such as reverse proxy, source code deployment of some applications, etc. However, in reality, these features can basically be implemented using Docker. Therefore, you don't need to worry too much about which method to use for deployment; just choose the most suitable implementation method based on your own habits and actual environment.

• Linux Panel Series: Introduction to Baota Panel Actually, besides the BT Panel, the 1Panel is also good and even cleaner, without as many ads as the BT Panel. However, the applications on 1Panel are all deployed directly as containers, whereas I have a dedicated environment for container deployment and don't need to implement it on the panel. Therefore, I chose the BT Panel. When applications are deployed in LNMP mode, the BT Panel still has an advantage.

Generally, third-party interfaces are used directly (usually using the Yi Payment interface; the official interfaces of WeChat and Alipay require a business license to use, which is difficult for individual users to apply for now). Among third-party interfaces, there is an open-source option called V-Sign, this article is a tutorial on building V-Sign from source code based on the BT Panel.
• Linux Panel Series: Using Baota Linux Panel to Build a Publicly Accessible Navigation Page A tutorial on deploying a public access navigation page from source code on the BT Panel. The key point is that this navigation page suits my taste, though I have now hosted it directly on Cloudflare Pages.

debian

I used to use Ubuntu for my Linux systems, and also used CentOS for a while. However, because my current virtual machine solution is PVE, and PVE 7.4 is based on Debian 11 (PVE 8.x is already Debian 12), I followed the trend and switched all my Linux systems to Debian.
