I run 63 Docker containers on a 16GB AWS instance serving 100+ users across 48 services. Here's how I keep it running for $87/month when SaaS would cost $1,200.
The final piece of the rebuild: how I use Ansible and Git to automate service deployment, node setup, and config management across my homelab—so I can rebuild fast when it matters.
See how I deployed Homepage in Kubernetes to create a clean, fast, and live dashboard for my homelab. From grouped services to container health, it’s my daily launchpad.

A quick intro to who I am, why this blog exists, and what kind of real-world systems, tools, and lessons you’ll find here—from homelab builds to cloud automation.
