the home server is one of the projects i use the most. it pulls together raspberry pi hardware, docker, reverse proxy setup, domains, ssl, shared files, and the day-to-day work of keeping a small stack running.
what is in it
- raspberry pi 5 as the base machine
- docker-based services
- reverse proxy with nginx and let’s encrypt
- domain and subdomain setup
- file access and shared storage
- vpn experiments like wireguard or tailscale
why it matters
it is one of the clearest examples of work that is actually mine end to end. not just using a service, but running it, fixing it, and understanding where it breaks.
