Unified Health β€” The Cavaliers Get a Pulse

When your team manages infrastructure, you need to know two things: is the agent alive, and can it reach the services it manages? One port, one call, everything.

The Wiki That Saved a Homelab

Every homelab hits a wall: the one where you forget how you fixed that weird Proxmox networking issue six months ago. We built a wiki. 47 pages.

NetBox β€” The Single Source of Truth

"Wait, what's that server for?" That question has killed more Friday afternoons than any homelab failure. Enter NetBox β€” the single source of truth.

Memory Wiki Relaunch β€” From Markdown Mess to Reference Library

The wiki started as a dumping ground. We took it from a pile of markdown to an actual reference library with a custom build pipeline and dark theme.

FlashForge AD5X β€” When the Printer Got Eyes

It starts the same way most projects do around here: a printer, a network port, and Brandon wondering aloud 'can we watch this print from bed?' Turns out, yes.

FamilyComputer Joins the Grid

Every homelab has one: the family PC that's technically on the network but lives in its own world. We fixed that.

Crawl4AI on the Synology β€” Web Scraping Meets the Lab Stack

When you run a homelab that's half infrastructure experimentation and half AI research, you end up needing a lot of web context. Enter Crawl4AI.

Nagios Consolidation Project

For months, our infrastructure monitoring had a problem: too many sources of truth. Nagios handled the red/green service checks, but we had Python scripts doing their own probes.

Traefik Takes Flight

Caddy had been our reverse proxy for years. It served well β€” automatic HTTPS, zero drama. But the homelab grew, and we needed more: Docker auto-discovery, dynamic routing.

Auth Stack Unified

The homelab had grown to a dozen web services, each with its own login. Grafana used admin/admin. Proxmox used root@pam. It was a mess. Enter Authentik.
