Seafile in Docker with self-signed certificate

Introduction

Seafile is an open-source file-hosting and file-syncing software. It can be used to sync files across different devices in your possession. In comparison to other solutions like NextCloud, Seafile is very efficient in syncing large number of files (especially small files). I have used it in my homelab for a very long time so today, I will demonstrate how to install Seafile Community Edition with self-signed certificate using Docker.

OS used: Debian 13
Software used: Seafile 13

Self-hosted GitLab runner for CI/CD pipelines

Introduction

In this post I will continue explaining how to get more functionality out of GitLab. One way to automate homelab is to use CI/CD pipelines, and GitLab provides good tools for that. To utilize these CI/CD pipelines we need a GitLab Runner - a program that can be run on a server or even your own computer. However for security reasons, it's best to create a new virtual machine specifically for this task. This post will go into detail how to prepare VM with GitLab Runner.

OS used: Debian 12
Software used: GitLab Community Edition 17.11.1
