Both run UniFi Dream Machines. Years ago, I drank the UniFi Kool-Aid, and now I'm so deeply invested in their ecosystem that migrating away would probably cost more than staying. The original idea was simple: I w... [Continue reading...](https://prozak.org/015-unifi-site-to-site-without-the-magic) 29 *Jul* #### [014.

Dynamic DNS Python Script -> deSEC.io DNS Service](https://prozak.org/012-dynamic-dns-python-script-greater-than-desec-io-dns-service) [self-hosting](https://prozak.org/tag:self-hosting) [linux](https://prozak.org/tag:linux) [python](https://prozak.org/tag:python) **Introduction** Dynamic DNS is one of those things that sounds trivial until it breaks your entire remote access setup. Because #lazy, I was relying on the router’s built-in DDNS (noip.com), which worked… until it didn’t. The DNS record stopped reflecting the actual WAN IP, and suddenly my WireGuar...

Deploying Centralized TLS Certificates Node + Docker Application](https://prozak.org/011-deploying-centralized-tls-certificates-node-docker-application) [linux](https://prozak.org/tag:linux) [caddy](https://prozak.org/tag:caddy) [python](https://prozak.org/tag:python) **Motivation** [Centralizing certificate issuance is step one](https://prozak.org/010-centralized-wildcard-certificate-on-debian-with-lets-encrypt-desec). Step two is making nodes consume that certificate automatically, without copying files by hand like it’s a 2004 LAN party. In this guide we’ll pull the wildcard cert for *yourdomain.com* from a “cert VM”, store it locally, and use it in...
