Welcome! This section contains practical, hands-on guides based on things I’ve built, broken, and learned along the way.
Most of these guides focus on Linux, servers, Coding, networking, and self-hosting, but I’ll occasionally branch out into other topics when I find something worth documenting.
More guides will be added over time as I continue experimenting and documenting.
This guide walks through building a functional home router using Alpine Linux. The setup includes a WAN interface, LAN (Ethernet + Wi-Fi), firewalling with nftables, DHCP/DNS options (dnsmasq or Pi-hole), and VPN routing using strongSwan.
