This page is dedicated to the server that this website is hosted on. It is currently called the “Arctic Archive”. I wanted to play off of the OS name Artix. That is right, I use Artix, so I can say: “I use Arch BTW, but without systemd”. I was using vanilla Arch but since my hard-drive was borked by an unwanted smart-meter installation, I decided to take the opportunity to rid myself from the IBM/RedHat owned systemd.

My server has many duties including NAS, Web Hosting, Torrenting, Backup/Syncing (mainly of all of the music I write, I record every rehearsal which ends up amounting to 1TB/year of data.), automation and monitoring. I do not use docker or any type of containerization as I find it abstracts myself away from what is actually running on my system. I only use FOSS software.

The server currently runs:

this website and my band’s website
Glances web UI
Transmission torrent server and web UI
Syncthing
Cloud sharing

My future plans for the server are:

Add a Jitsi Server
Add an XMPP Chat Server
Work with friends and family to create a network of servers for geo-redundancy backups
