How to Build your own AnyCast Network you’re using anycast every day. all public resolvers (1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, 9.9.9.9) for example are anycast ip’s and hence, many servers distributed around the world which listen and announce the same ip address.
we can build a proof of concept, how to build such a network, for a few $.
Requirements AS Number Anycast heavily depends on BGP. So, you need a own AS Number.
got Docker running with Traefik as ingress Loadbalancer ?
Just enable IPv6 like this.
daemon.json cat << EOF > /etc/docker/daemon.json { "ipv6": true, "fixed-cidr-v6": "2001:db8:1::/64" } EOF Restart Services systemctl reload docker Check Netstat # netstat -tulpen |grep docker tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 15788 977/docker-proxy tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:443 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 17495 952/docker-proxy tcp6 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 0 15791 984/docker-proxy tcp6 0 0 :::443 :::* LISTEN 0 15773 963/docker-proxy Any Comments ?
Let’s have a look a the old and simple “cgi-bin” stuff on OpenBSD. The Webserver is written by the OpenBSD Guys, and it runs in a chrooted environment.
switch to cgi-bin dir cd /var/www/cgi-bin/ ip.cgi create the file under /var/www/cgi-bin called ‘ip.cgi’
cat << 'EOG' > ip.cgi #!/bin/sh cat << EOF Content-type: text/html <html><head> <title>IP: $REMOTE_ADDR</title> </head><body> <p>Your IP address is: $REMOTE_ADDR</p> </body></html> EOF EOG Set Owner & Permission chmod 500 ip.
Running PHP on OpenBSD yes, i know … it’s not rocket science .. but why not make a short post so other (or myself) can have a quick look if needed ?
pkg_info -Q php pkg_add php--%8.2 pkg_add php-sqlite3--%8.2 pkg_add php-curl--%8.2 Set TimeZone and allow short open tags
sed -i s'#date.timezone = UTC.*#date.timezone = Europe/Zurich#' /etc/php-8.2.ini sed -i s'#short_open_tag = Off.*#short_open_tag = On#' /etc/php-8.2.ini Install all Modules if needed .. does not make sense for me :(
i like kuma. simple, flexibel, selfhosted, and open source. one thing i missed is an API for adding / modifing hosted services.
now, i found a webapi for kuma and gave a try.
pre-condition you have some Maschine with Docker you have traefik running, which can terminate TLS, handle Loadbalancing docker-compose.yml version: '3.3' networks: traefik: external: true volumes: uptime-kuma: api-db: services: kuma: container_name: uptime-kuma image: louislam/uptime-kuma:1.19.6 restart: always volumes: - uptime-kuma:/app/data networks: - traefik labels: - "traefik.
Selfhosting Comment
some people mentioned that they can’t commment on some blogs. let’s change that, even there is not lot of feedback. i appreciate and read every comment and interaction with you, my readers.
poeple who knows me that i like todo most of the stuff self. so, i’d never buy a “service” for hosting some comments. i’ve got enough infrastructure running so i can host and operate it on my own.
… just some Tests with a Selfhosted Comment System …

When is an anycast ip an anycast ip ? that’s a question i was asked recently. As LTNN (Long Term Networking Nerd), i’m aware of Unicast, Multicast, Broadcast and also Anycast. so, let’s have a look into this.
hint: this article is not about how to setup your own anycast network. this may follow soon ?!?
Terminologie Unicast 1:1 Sending a message from one sender to one recipient
Multicast 1:many Sending a message from one sender to multiple recipients
