Once we have ssh key setup we can disable password login on servers once keys are set up. This way our server and services are more secure. SSH to server Edit sshd_config file sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config Set Authentication to No PasswordAuthent...

Passwordless Login in Authentik allows us to login using passkey instead of password. This option provides higher security and faster authentication. At the moment Passwordless Authentication only supposts WebAuth devicees (tokens, yubkey, 1password passkey)....

Search Engine Around this point in my homelab journey, I had the baseline established and was ready to focus on applications that would bring more meaning to my homelab and actually be of use. Throughout graduate school, a big focus of mine was cybersecurity a...

Security was at the forefront of this project — an idea that sparked a huge part of the build, and the topic I enjoyed most during graduate school. In the Foundation chapter, the focus was around access control at the firewall level, making sure that only spec...

Applications Once the foundation and all the supporting systems were in place, I thought — this is it, now I can actually start running applications. Up until that point, the only non-administrative thing running was my SearXNG search engine. The whole idea of...
