Since April 2024, I have dedicated my time to building and managing personal server infrastructure from scratch. For me, there is no greater satisfaction than seeing rows of log codes running smoothly after a long debugging process.
Skills & Technologies #
To manage a digital ecosystem, I rely on a combination of the following technologies to ensure scalability and security:
The Lab: Technical Infrastructure #
I currently operate two main server units running various critical services:
- Reverse Proxy: Traefik for inbound traffic management.
- Security: Centralized authentication using Authentik.
- Networking: Secure connections via Netbird & Cloudflare WARP.
- Automation: Workflow efficiency with n8n and custom Python scripts.
- Media: Content management through Jellyfin and SMB storage.
- Knowledge: Documentation using WikiJS.

Why Did I Start This Blog? #
The main purpose of this blog is to serve as a digital documentation hub to assist my future self and to provide a reference for fellow homelabbers facing similar challenges.
Let’s Connect #
I am always open to discussions regarding Docker optimization, server architecture, or simply exchanging ideas for new projects.
