I do this with https://www.sphinx-doc.org/ + a basic Makefile and config file to make it a bit nicer. I will publish my template a bit later and report back.
I wrote this ansible role to setup dovecot IMAP server. Once a year I move all mail from the previous year from various mailboxes to my dovecot server (using thunderbird).
I use the Netdata agent (with cloud features disabled). Easy installation, FOSS, 0 configuration required, tons of metrics.
I wrote my own ansible role to deploy/maintain a matrix server and a few goodies (element/synapse-admin). If you’re not using ansible you should still be able to understand the deployment logic by starting at tasks/main.yml
and following includes/tasks from there.
host maps
It does require a beefy server (rendering tiles is CPU/RAM-intensive, storing pre-rendered tiles is expensive on storage) It should be doable on limited hardware if only a small area.
I think the better move would be keeping/distributing a local copy of the OsmAnd android APK and a few maps for the app. Because you’ll not be able to provide map access to people from your server if the Internet/local fiber/phone network is down - this way everyone can have their own full copy of the map.
I’m not sure about the method to extract map data from the app storage directory though.
Just download a copy of a recent wikipedia dump. You can open it in the Kiwix desktop application (work fine even on an old laptop), the android app (though I’ve never tried opening a full 100GB dump with a phone, not sure if it would work well), or install the kiwix-tool
package and serve the .zim
file with kiwix-serve
(https://wiki.kiwix.org/wiki/Kiwix-serve). You’d also probably want a reverse proxy/usual basic web server/security setup around that.
Second this, always have a device preloaded with Kiwix and one of the wikipedia dumps. A new vesrion is uploaded every few (~6 months). The full English wikipedia dump with images (low-res versions only though) is only 103GB.
libvirt/virt-manager is a nice VM management tool.
