Step by Step Articles

All the setup involved for bespin, a Ubuntu 18.04 desktop server.

  • Ubuntu/Bespin/DNS - removing the built-in DNS server on Ubuntu and replacing it with dnsmasq
  • Ubuntu/Bespin/PiHole - run an instance of PiHole, the DNS sinkhole, in a Docker container; install it between dnsmasq and the VPN tunnel, so all DNS queries will pass through the PiHole
  • Ubuntu/Bespin/Iptables - Update the iptables rules to allow better protection of the server and be less permissive
  • Ubuntu/Bespin/TIL - the summary of "today I learned" things that I learned while setting up Bespin
