About

I am James. By day I do something else entirely, but in the evenings I run a three-node Proxmox cluster out of a cupboard and pretend it is a data centre.

This blog documents the homelab - the projects that worked, the ones that did not, and the late-night debugging sessions that somehow fixed everything. You will find posts about building automated fuel price trackers, wrangling reverse proxies, and generally overengineering solutions to problems that did not need solving.

The stack: Proxmox, LXC containers, Caddy, InfluxDB, Grafana, Ghost, and whatever else I have bolted on this week. Everything is monitored, automated, and occasionally on fire.

If you are into homelabs, self-hosting, or just enjoy watching someone build things the hard way - you are in the right place.
