This wiki is my personal learning space — a place where I experiment, break things, fix them, and document the process.
Everything here runs from my own NAS, and every service is installed, configured, and maintained by me.
- TrueNAS SCALE — my storage backbone and Docker host.
- Portainer — my dashboard for deploying and managing containers.
- Wiki.js — this documentation hub.
- JupyterLab — my environment for coding, data science, and automation practice.
- Nextcloud — my private cloud for file sync, sharing, and collaboration.
I built this to sharpen my skills and understand how these tools work together in a real-world environment.
Here, I can:
- Learn by doing — no production pressure, no risk to real clients.
- Test configurations and see the results firsthand.
- Keep everything documented so I can repeat success (and avoid past mistakes).
- Install Guides — step-by-step instructions for each service.
- Portainer Stack Files — reusable YAML configs for quick deployments.
- Troubleshooting Notes — fixes for issues I’ve actually run into.
- Custom Scripts — automation tools I’ve built along the way.
- Master persistent storage mapping with ZFS datasets in TrueNAS.
- Automate deployments so I can spin up services in minutes.
- Improve service integration — making tools work together seamlessly.
- Document everything so the process is clear and repeatable.
This isn’t just a wiki — it’s the map of my journey as I build, learn, and refine my self-hosted environment.
