After moving my blog to GitHub, I didn’t plan on buying any more servers. Maybe it’s because things have been too quiet lately and I felt like tinkering, or maybe it’s that “I might not need it, but I must have it” mindset, but I ended up making an impulse purchase.

Docker

Since discovering Docker, I try to deploy almost every project with it. It’s just too convenient.

Running Debian 10, logged in as root. First, update:

1

apt update

Install dependencies:

1

apt install curl gpg

Update GPG:

1

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg

Add Docker repo:

1
2
3

echo \
   "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian \
   buster stable" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

Install Docker:

1
2

apt update
apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose

Start Docker:

1
2

systemctl enable docker
systemctl start docker

Test the installation:

1

docker run --rm hello-world

Nginx

Using the nginx-ui project again, deployed via Docker. Configuration:

version: '3.1' 
services: 
  nginx-ui:
    restart: always
    image: uozi/nginx-ui:latest
    container_name: nginx_UI
    volumes:
      - /home/nginx_ui/nginx:/etc/nginx
      - /home/nginx_ui/nginx-ui:/etc/nginx-ui
      - /home/nginx_ui/www:/www
    ports:
      - 80:80
      - 443:443

If you enable HTTPS at the DNS level, you don’t need to configure certificates; otherwise, you’ll run into access issues.

Personal Intro

I’ve had the idea for a personal landing page since before I moved my old server’s sites to Docker. I specifically changed my blog domain from yexca.xyz to blog.yexca.xyz just to free up the root domain. I didn’t expect it to take until this new server to actually start.

The domain yexca.xyz no longer belongs to me.

I checked my old project files—created March 2022, last modified June 2022. My procrastination is getting serious.

The idea came from seeing other bloggers’ intro pages, like https://idealclover.top/ , https://the.moe/ , and others. It’s been so long I can’t find all of them (and some have updated to look even cooler).

Some are open source where you just fill in your info to generate a page.

In the end, I chose to mimic the http://lolicon.app style. I forget exactly why (probably a decision from last year).

Navidrome

A big reason for the impulse buy was wanting a decent music site for personal use. I previously had one based on OneDrive , but the experience in mainland China was poor. Since 115 was having a promotion, I went for it.

Post-experience: Never mind, it’s not even as fast as OneDrive. Impulse is the devil.

Sigh, I was even planning to deploy kikoeru-express if this worked well.

First, you need a version of Rclone that supports 115.

Project: https://github.com/gaoyb7/rclone-release

Usage is identical to the original Rclone, just with 115 support added.

Getting the Cookie

Via Chrome DevTools

Log in to 115, open the Network tab, refresh, and find cookie.js?_=[number].

The Cookie is in the Request Headers.

Via Chrome Extension

Easier to view. Use: Get cookies.txt LOCALLY

App Cookie

Web cookies expire quickly. It’s better to capture the App’s request. Use Stream or Quantumult X on iOS, Packet Capture on Android, or Fiddler on PC.

It’s easy enough to grab, so I won’t detail it here.

Configuring Rclone

Via CLI or config file.

Via CLI

1

rclone.exe config

Follow the prompts. On Windows, the config is at:

1

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\rclone

Via Config File

Create rclone.conf in the directory above with:

1
2
3
4
5

[name]
type = 115
uid = your_uid
cid = your_cid
seid = your_seid

Windows Mount Test

Requires winfsp (restart after install).

1

.\rclone.exe mount -v --read-only --vfs-read-chunk-size=4M --buffer-size=32M --network-mode 115: X:

Ctrl+C to unmount.

Linux Docker Mount

Pull image:

1

docker pull gaoyb7/rclone:latest

Blog

Two blogs, both deployed following my previous articles. I likely won’t update them much.

Wordpress

The image CDN I used for the old Wordpress blog is down. I tried some replacement plugins with no luck, so I stopped bothering (background images are good enough).

Typecho

I forgot the admin password for my VRChat Tutorial site since I haven’t used it in ages. Luckily, I had backup files, so I set up a new instance and imported the data. Same CDN issue as above; I’ll swap it out when I have time (only the cover is fixed for now).
