Join me as I learn about software, self-hosting and all things DIY
Welcome to my blog thing
I'm Luka. In my spare time I maintain a production NixOS homelab running 35+ self-hosted services; everything from NextCloud and Vaultwarden to local LLM inference with Ollama. I love to tinker. Whether it's architecting systems, wrangling Nix into submission, or diving deep into infrastructure problems; that's where I thrive. I also break a lot of things in the process, but by now I've learned enough to put them back together. Most of the time anyway.
This blog is where I document the interesting bits. All real world implementations, no hand waving.
These days I also do this for a living — I consult for small and mid-sized companies.
