What is ByteGeist?
ByteGeist Cloud is a self-hosted infrastructure platform built to practice real-world Linux administration, Docker operations, networking, identity management, monitoring, logging, security hardening, backup planning, disaster recovery, and CI/CD automation.
Architecture
Platform Design
Traffic flows through Nginx Proxy Manager, authentication is centralized through Authentik, and services are monitored, logged, backed up, and documented.
Operations
Monitoring & Logging
Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Alloy, Node Exporter, and cAdvisor provide visibility into system health, container workloads, and infrastructure logs.
Centralized Logging
Loki and Grafana provide searchable logs for containers and infrastructure troubleshooting.
Security
Identity & Threat Detection
Authentik provides single sign-on and access control while Fail2Ban and CrowdSec detect and block hostile traffic.
Centralized Identity
SSO, OAuth2, OIDC, Forward Auth, and 2FA protect access to internal services.
Threat Detection
CrowdSec detects brute-force behavior and creates firewall decisions to block attackers.
Development
Git Hosting & CI/CD
Gitea hosts the code and infrastructure repositories while Woodpecker CI runs automated pipelines triggered by repository activity.
Self-Hosted Git
Gitea manages source code, project history, documentation, and infrastructure repositories.
CI/CD Automation
Woodpecker successfully runs automated pipelines connected to Gitea repositories.
Service Portal
Centralized Dashboard
Dashy acts as the launchpad for the environment, organizing infrastructure, observability, development, security, tools, and user services.
Operations Portal
Quick access to core infrastructure, observability, and development services.
Service Catalog
Organized access to security tools, utilities, file management, and public sites.
