Sounds easy, until..:

  • Bandwidth: 2 – 3 Gbps outbound.
  • Storage: you have two options.
  • 3 – 5 TB of usable redundant filesystem space on SSDs.
  • 3 – 5 TB of S3-compatible object storage, and 200 GB of cache on SSD.

    Servers: one. No need to make the log a distributed system, CT itself is a distributed system.

    The uptime target is 99%3 over three months, which allows for nearly 22h of downtime. That’s more than three motherboard failures per month.

    CPU and memory: whatever, as long as it’s ECC memory. Four cores and 2 GB will do.

    Bandwidth: 2 – 3 Gbps outbound.
    Storage:
    3 – 5 TB of usable redundant filesystem space on SSD or.
    3 – 5 TB of S3-compatible object storage, and 200 GB of cache on SSD.
    People: at least two. The Google policy requires two contacts, and generally who wants to carry a pager alone.

    Seems beyond you typical homelab self hoster, except for the countries that have 5gbps symmetric home broadband.
    If anyone can sneak 2-3gbps outbound pass their employer, I imagine the rest is trivial.
    Altho... "At least 2 [people]" isn't the typical self hosting

    Edit:
    Tried to fix the copy/paste.

    Also will add:

    https://crt.sh/
    Has a list of all certificates issued.
    If you are using LE for every subdomain of your homelab (including internal), maybe think about a wildcard cert?
    One of those "obscurity isn't security", but why advertise your endpoints? Also increases privacy (IE not advertising porn(dot)example(dot)com)

    2-3Gbps? Mate, I can only get 40Mbps here. I would kill for that bandwidth!

    Thats what I'm on currently, and soon I'll be able to get 1.2gbit symmetric!

    Still a far cry from 2-3gbps. I dont know of anyone with home internet service capable of that, but maybe elsewhere there are better options.

    I live in an area with Google Fiber. I’m on their standard gigabit plan, but apparently 3 and 8 gigabit is available for my address - all speeds symmetrical. Really should be the standard for what’s available across the US, but we wouldn’t want to offend upstanding companies like Comcast, ATT, Verizon, etc.

    Thats the problem....

    Right now I'm not even served by one of the big companies, and they haven't improved service in.... Years.

    Even their fiber lines max at 500 symmetric, and they won't drop to a residence. No other options either.

    Comcast is now in the area, and as much as I hate them.... It would be cheaper and faster by a lot (on both counts). Half the price, 25 times the upstream.

    Its a sad state of affairs IMO.

    But your endpoints are already available to everyone with just a nslookup.

    Maybe it's more the permanent history of that, so if you run something like "radarr.example.com" then you wouldn't have plausible deniability if you're sued and the CT logs are presented as proof of your wrongdoing

    I guess this is mainly targeted at Universities and organisations that mirror repos?

    They're the kinda place (I presume) that would be able to support this...
