Solene’s Percent %

Solene’s Percent % is the personal site of Solène Rapenne, a freelance consultant and former OpenBSD developer. It collects her writing on reproducibility, BSD and Linux administration, Qubes OS, command-line tooling, gaming, and security, framed as a place for learning and sharing knowledge.

The content mixes technical tutorials with opinion and experience reports. A representative post explains how to use Caddy’s forward authentication to publish only the share links of a service otherwise reachable via VPN, with worked examples for Immich albums and Nextcloud shares, plus a discussion of what the approach does and does not protect.

The site suits self-hosters, sysadmins, and BSD or Linux users who prefer concrete configuration examples over marketing-level overviews. Readers already familiar with reverse proxies and basic networking will get the most from the step-by-step setups.

Use it as a reference when tightening a homelab: read the security rationale before copying configs, adapt paths and matchers to your own services, and check the limitations section to understand residual exposure. Contact details and a Fediverse account are provided for follow-up questions.
