Everything runs at home.

No cloud subscriptions. No monthly fees. Just hardware, Docker, and a lot of trial and error.

🌐
UniFi Network
Full UniFi stack with VLANs, proper IoT segmentation, and a Dream Machine at the core.
🐳
Docker / Portainer
Every service runs as a Portainer stack — Homepage, Uptime Kuma, Ghost, Pi-hole, n8n and more.
☁️
Cloudflare Tunnels
All public services exposed cleanly — zero open ports on the router, wildcard SSL via Cloudflare.
🖥
Raspberry Pi Cluster
Two Pis running the show — DNS, monitoring, Home Assistant, and this very website.
