About me
I am Vincent, 30 years old and live in Norderstedt (near Hamburg) with my wife and our dog Smarty.

I like all water sports such as surfing, sailing, or snowboarding in the winter. Next year, wakeboarding is planned with the long-term goal of kitesurfing.
At home, I am either in the garden or working on my smart home.
From time to time, I also work on a few side projects. Here are the current implementations, not all of them are functional or “productive”…

Proxmox
Home server with some LXC containers running, some behind caddy for access from the web.

Planned
- Install Coolify on my Oracle Cloud servers.

- Current state: I dont like coolify that much. I will probably erase the server and setup a cluster for k8s instead (or Kamal)
- Re-Install Authelia or other option to secure my reverse proxy to make all services accessible from the web with mfa.
