Landchad.net Website Tutorial Page
A Hugo-based static site that publishes step-by-step self-hosting tutorials: nginx, mail servers, XMPP, Matrix, Nextcloud, Tor, WireGuard, and more. Aimed at developers who want to run their own infrastructure on a Debian VPS rather than depend on cloud services. The content is the product — the code is just Hugo scaffolding.
Coverage is genuinely broad — from DNS basics and TLS certs all the way to Monero nodes and federated social servers, with each guide staying on the narrow path of 'here are the exact commands'. The no-Docker policy keeps guides honest; you actually learn what the service does instead of just running a compose file. Public domain license means you can fork and republish without restriction. The explicit style guide (Debian stable, root not sudo, no prompt prefix on commands) keeps contributed guides consistent enough that you can read them without mental gear-shifting.
Several guides reference services that have moved on — Rainloop is abandoned, Pleroma forked into Akkoma, some configs target older Debian versions despite the Debian 12 mandate. There's no automated testing or CI for the content itself, so outdated commands sit quietly until someone notices. The site is a collection of independent guides with no progression — someone who follows them all will end up with a server full of services and no mental model of how they interact or what to monitor. The Bitcoin/Monero/BTCPay content sits awkwardly alongside the sysadmin material and will be the reason some people don't share it.
