In this guide I will show you how to setup traffic shaping with fq_codel. I did this on my own Opnsense firewall, which is running on a Vodafone Cable connection with 1 Gbit/s. With traffic shaping I could improve my BufferBloat Rating from D to A. I basically followed this guide, but it seems like IPv6 and dynamic prefixes where not that important in 2018. So I created this guide to show you how to archive this with dynamic prefixes and IPv6.

These days to host static website you do not need a webspace or vps. If you stay below 100k reguests per 24h and don’t use more than 10GB storage your website would even be free. Only if you use more than that it costs you something, but remains within a manageable range.

Why Backblaze B2

Backblaze B2 is a cheap alternative to AWS S3. For only 0.005 USD per GB Storage and 0.01 USD per GB transfer per month it is much cheaper than other S3 services. If you are using Backblaze and Cloudflare together it is even cheaper, because you are saving the 0.01 USD transfer cost.

Here I explain how you can start your Teamspeak server automatically with the help of a Systemd service file. So the server stays online even if it crashes.

To do this, create a service file under /lib/systemd/system/teamspeak.service like this

1

cat > /lib/systemd/system/teamspeak.service

Afterwards simply adapt the Config below and copy it into the terminal, finish with CRTL+D.

Now you can reload systemd and start the server. This is done with:

In this tutorial I will briefly explain how to update a Teamspeak server automatically. Automatic means in this context that you only have to enter your desired (new) version and the script does the rest by itself. What this script can’t do is automatically check if a new version is available.

To upgrade your Teamspeak server automatically I have written this short script. You just have to adjust the variables TSPATH and TSBACKUP to your setup. But it would make sense if you have configured a service for it, either systemd or initd. You can probably also use the Teamspeak scripts but I haven’t tested them.
