    using Ansible and Docker Compose while migrating internal tools and databases from Windows to Linux servers, allowing for a more resilient and easier to scale and maintain infrastructure; documented the process so inexperienced coworkers could use the new tools themselves

Personal projects

Mother of All Infra
Icon representing an external link

My personal IaC codebase, it uses Nix, Terraform, Ansible and Docker to manage all of my machines (both servers and personal computers) and their config. In particular, it allows me to self-host a complete personal cloud solution with:

  • Various websites hosting, including
    snyssen.be
    Icon representing an external link
  • File, documents and calendar storage and handling
  • Full multimedia management solution
  • Smart home integrations
  • Federated social networks and messaging platforms
  • Automated backups of all devices and the servers themselves
  • Identity management with SSO
  • Secure networking with customized DNS management, mesh VPN integration, and dynamic firewalls
  • Monitoring of the entire infrastructure
  • etc.

This infrastructure provides services I rely on daily, and is a good way to safely experiment with server technologies before using them in a professional setting
