Migrating AWS Deployment To Self-Hosting

Migrate services from AWS to onsite servers and database

Details:

• Goal was to save money by eliminating our internal requirement to use multiple AWS EC2 instances.
• Created a local server cluster
• Installed Pfsense on a PC and setup a Ubiquiti AP for WiFiInstall to act as the router and setup Docker containers on an Intel NUC and a Raspberry Pi.
• Used Docker Compose and publishing services hosted locally with Cloudflare.
• Installed Ubuntu Server on an Intel NUC and a Raspberry Pi, then installed Docker and Portainer for container management
• Created Docker Compose environments for Gitea, Mattermost, Redmine, and KeyCloak, and an authorization server - migrating from the original on AWS as EC2 instances (originally without docker)
• Setup all of the above services to authenticate with KeyCloak, so that only one login is required
• Setup Cloudflare tunnels to have the services accessible on the internet, without exposing the IP address
• Setup a backup process automatically uploading all onsite data to an S3 bucket
