Hi, I’m Max — Infrastructure and Automation Engineer by day, homelab tinkerer by night.
This wiki is a living documentation of my self-hosted world: the infrastructure I run, the tools I’ve built, and the experiments I’ve tried along the way.
It’s part knowledge base, part showcase — meant to share how I approach self-hosting, automation, and integrating “all the things” into a working ecosystem.
I maintain two core environments:
- 🏠 Private Homelab — Internal services for testing, automation, media, and monitoring
- 🌐 Public VPS — Externally accessible services (like this wiki) hardened behind reverse proxy + auth
- Proxmox (x4 nodes) – Virtualization backbone
- Proxmox Backup Server – Cluster-wide VM/CT backups
- TrueNAS Scale – Central storage with iSCSI + snapshots
- Docker + Portainer – Container orchestration
- AdGuard Home + Unbound + DNSCrypt – DNS privacy & filtering
- Traefik + Authelia (on VPS) – Reverse proxy with SSO/2FA
- N8N – Workflow automation
- Coder – Cloud dev environments
- Open WebUI + Ollama – Local AI/LLM playground
- Jarvis – Custom smart assistant (voice + text, memory, Home Assistant integration)
- Jellyfin – Media streaming
- Radarr / Sonarr / Prowlarr / Bazarr – Media automation stack
- SABnzbd + Transmission (VPN) – Downloads
- Jellyseerr – Request management
- Jellystat – Media analytics
- Home Assistant – Core smart home automation
- Spotcast – Spotify → Google Nest speakers
- Roborock Q Revo S – Integrated vacuum control
- Moonraker (Klipper) – 3D printer control
- Checkmk – System & service monitoring
- Graylog – Centralized log management
- WUD (Watchtower Update Daemon) – Container update tracking
- Netdata (public VPS) – Lightweight monitoring
- Gitea – Git server
- Wiki.js – Internal documentation
- Pterodactyl – Game server manager
- Vaultwarden – Password manager
- Actual Budget – Personal finance
- Paperless-NGX – Document archiving
- Linkwarden – Bookmark management
- ChangeDetection.io – Webpage change tracking
- FileBrowser (VPS) – External file access
- LinkStack (VPS) – Landing page
A custom voice/text-based assistant for my homelab. It controls smart devices, holds contextual memory, and has just enough sarcasm to keep things fun.
Features:
- 🎤 Wake-word activated voice + text input
- 🧠 Memory (short + long term via FAISS + OpenAI embeddings)
- 🏠 Home Assistant integration
- 🎵 Spotify casting via Spotcast
- 💻 Terminal commands, system info, reminders
- 🧱 Modular Python backend (future plans: local LLM support)
