Current Projects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
App<\/strong><\/th>Description<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
WordPress<\/td>The site you are currently on! This was a learning experience for setting up complex platforms on custom domains, but also is simple to use and efficient.

Why make a new solution when existing ones work effectively?<\/td><\/tr>
Traefik<\/td>A routing application that enables me to setup reverse proxies for my domain, enabling me to host all these different applications on various VMs, and have traffic directed through a gateway. It also supports handling SSL and External DNS through LetsEncrypt and Cloudflare respectively.

This was a huge lesson in the complexities of SSL, external DNS, routing, and reverse proxies. This is the core of my network.<\/td><\/tr>
PostgreSQL<\/td>The primary database I use for several of my applications, both listed here and otherwise.

I have a long history of using MS SQL, AWS Athena, Snowflake, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. This is an easy and free option that handles all my small-scale needs.<\/td><\/tr>
Kubernetes + Calico<\/td>A single-node cluster to both learn about Kubernetes and to have a place to deploy Docker containers, both manually and with CI\/CD.

Boy howdy was this a learning experience! Before setting this up, I had never used Docker before and that made this whole setup about 5 times harder than it really should have been. Still an excellent solution to setting up complex applications that need to work every time.<\/td><\/tr>
Authentik<\/td>An authorization method that supports LDAP and OpenID to authenticate users. Also had a UI to enable users to select what app(s) they’d like to open all from one dashboard.

Made me have to re-work my SSL setup as it’s requirements for setup were more stringent that I had needed before this time. Made me replace NGINX Proxy Manager with Traefik to support the more advanced setup.<\/td><\/tr>
Gitea<\/td>A local git instance that is used to replicate Github code. It’s not good for open-source projects, but it is a great place to keep and work on personal projects.<\/td><\/tr>
Audiobookshelf<\/td>An audiobook reader that is accessible via desktop and mobile. I upload m4a and mp3 bundles from books I purchase from Audible or Libro.fm to be able to read from an app that is more comfortable, and that i can share with my Wife without overriding each others listening progress.<\/td><\/tr>
Jellyfin<\/td>A media serving application that is like my own personal Netflix. I upload media, which is usually content ripped from DVDs and Blue-Rays that I own, and then can watch on my smart TV, desktop, phone, or tablet.<\/td><\/tr>
Foundry<\/td>A platform for hosting virtual tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons. <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Previous Projects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
App<\/th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Minecraft Server<\/td>A minecraft server for my friends and I to hang out with each other for extended periods.

We had several worlds over several years before we all eventually all got married, started having kids, and having less free time. <\/td><\/tr>
NGINX Proxy Manager<\/td>Was my first attempt at setting up SSL and Reverse Proxies. Thought it worked, it had limited websocket support, and SSL was not fully supported in edge cases. Taught me a lot about networking and specifically traffic routing in general.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
