For a long time, I treated privacy as a niche concern.

I think it’s safe to say that AI is here to stay.

I used Hermes to help migrate my homelab from Docker onto Kubernetes.

Kubernetes is one of those things that can feel simple in a course and messy the moment you try to run it at home.

AI agents are everywhere at the moment.

I’ve been running a homelab for a while now, but after a recent rebuild, I finally have a network setup I’m genuinely happy with.

In my last post, I talked about slowing down and really learning Kubernetes rather than just following labs and copy-pasting manifests.

The last few days I have been diving deep into learning Kubernetes for the CKA exam, at the moment I am doing the Kubernetes Fundamentals LFS258 course and I am making sure to go through it slow and really question why things are the way they are.

It’s easy to dive deep into the rabbit hole of self-hosting services—trust me, I’ve been falling into this pit almost weekly since starting my YouTube channel over two years ago.

When to Transition from Tinkering to Serious Self-Hosting Self-hosting often begins with a bit of experimentation on whatever device you have at hand, usually your daily PC running Windows or macOS.

I’m a massive advocate for just diving in and breaking things when you start learning something new in the tech world.

The first thing I ever self-hosted was a WordPress blog on a cheap VPS.

If you’ve spent time playing around with computers and servers, you’ve likely heard of Linux.

If you work in tech, or even if it’s a hobby for you, you’ll understand that it’s an ever-changing field with an endless amount to learn, regardless of your specialization.

Overview Self-hosting can be intimidating, especially for newcomers to concepts like Docker, Linux, Networking, and storage.

Recently, I made the decision to upgrade from hosting my services on a collection of single-board computers, such as my Raspberry Pis, to a dedicated server.

In this guide, we’ll walk through a Python script that allows you to backup and restore Docker containers remotely using SSH.

Since I launched my YouTube channel and Blog about 2 years ago (my blog has seen its fair share of creations and destructions over that time), all my content has revolved around self-hosting.

Since running my YouTube channel and being part of the self-hosting community, I have seen a question come up quite a bit.
