Welcome to Viles.info¶
Welcome to my personal technical portfolio and documentation site.
Viles.info is where I collect projects, systems notes, homelab work, automation experiments, and technical writeups. It is part portfolio, part living notebook, and part record of the tools, workflows, and infrastructure I build or explore.
The goal is simple: show the work, explain the thinking behind it, and document enough of the process that future me — and anyone curious — can understand how things fit together.
What this site is¶
This site is a public-facing collection of:
- Software and tooling projects
- Systems administration and infrastructure notes
- Self-hosting and homelab documentation
- Automation workflows and technical experiments
- Practical writeups on services, architecture, and deployment decisions
It is not a traditional blog, and it is not meant to be a perfectly polished marketing page. It is closer to a working technical portfolio: structured, searchable, and always evolving.
Featured work¶
Projects¶
A collection of software, tooling, and systems projects at different stages of maturity.
Current highlights include:
- MediaReel — A portable media launcher and local playback project.
- VolCore Ops — A volunteer operations and event management system concept.
- ReceiptDesigner — A receipt layout and template design project.
Homelab and systems¶
Notes from the infrastructure side of things: containers, reverse proxies, monitoring, documentation, automation, and self-hosted services.
This section focuses on architecture patterns, lessons learned, service organization, and operational thinking. It intentionally avoids private network details, secrets, internal endpoints, or anything that should not be public.
About¶
A short introduction to my background, interests, and the kind of technical work I enjoy.
What I like working on¶
I am especially interested in practical systems work: making services easier to run, improving documentation, building small tools that solve annoying problems, and connecting pieces together in a way that is reliable and maintainable.
Common themes across this site include:
- Docker and containerized services
- Self-hosted infrastructure
- Monitoring and observability
- Internal tools and workflow automation
- Documentation-first project planning
- Clean deployment patterns
- Small utilities that make repetitive work less painful
Current status¶
Viles.info is under active construction. Some pages are complete enough to be useful, some are placeholders, and some are waiting for me to stop tinkering long enough to write them down.
The site will continue to grow as projects mature, documentation improves, and new ideas make it out of the “this could be neat” phase.
Built with¶
This site is built with MkDocs Material, served through Caddy and git-pages, and backed by DigitalOcean Spaces.
Because naturally, even the portfolio site needed a small infrastructure stack.
