Service Infrastructure Update – June 13, 2025
Today marks a significant milestone for our self-hosted services. Here’s a summary of the improvements and changes rolled out on June 13, 2025:
🚀 Infrastructure & Networking
All services have been migrated away from Cloudflare. We now operate through a custom-built, highly optimized reverse-proxy system hosted on an OVH VLE-2 VPS (2 vCores, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB SSD NVMe, 500 Mb/s unlimited traffic, and industry-leading Anti-DDoS protection). Affected services: – https://blog.miguvt.com – https://cloud.miguvt.com – https://short.miguvt.com – https://vault.miguvt.com
The new reverse-proxy stack is fully managed and fine-tuned for performance, privacy, and resilience, ensuring faster and more reliable access across all platforms.
🔐 Secure Networking with WireGuard & Reverse Proxy
All traffic between our VPS and backend servers is securely routed using WireGuard VPN, ensuring encrypted and private communication channels at all times. The VPS runs a minimal NGINX stream proxy that efficiently forwards HTTP and HTTPS traffic to our backend servers (including the Raspberry Pi 5), preserving client IPs using the PROXY protocol.
This architecture eliminates reliance on third-party CDNs, giving us full control over security, privacy, and performance.
☁️ Nextcloud Platform
Major Upgrade: Nextcloud has been upgraded to version 31.0.6, bringing a host of performance, security, and user experience improvements.
