Infrastructure on Capsule One

Owning your own infrastructure

Thu, 10 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Owning your own infrastructure was a very unpopular conversation over the last ~15 years due to the hype of cloud providers.

And to be fair to them, cloud providers did allow companies to scale hyper fast with a fraction of the man-power that self hosting would require.

I think this is changing.

We have the tools to build our own cloud, and operate it at lower cost. The cloud providers have been milking for years and now they can’t keep up with demand.

Migrating my infrastructure from my phone

More than the cool factor of “built X by the pool”, what I’m trying to demonstrate is really how capable current models are, and how that is transforming our role as engineers.

I was able to do a migration I’ve been procrastinating about (and paying premium for) for almost a year.

Migrated 13 services across 7 apps, including:

3 DNS zones (without interruptions)
gofwd.to (backend, postgres + clickhouse)
newsletter
capsule.one from aws cloudfront -> cloudflare
umami metrics -> migrated to rybbit

Migrated from docker compose files to Nomad, implemented periodic backup jobs to R2 for all databases with retention rules built in.

Cloudflare proxy for IPv6-only servers

One very cool thing about Clouflare proxy is that you can route ipv4 traffic to an ipv6 only server.

Almost everywhere you pay 1 or 2$ times extra per month just to have a public ipv4 IP, while ipv6s are free everywhere, you usually get an entire (huge) range!

Since it’s a free service it kind of convinced me to move my nameservers to cloudflare
