Your infrastructure, run like my own.
Hey, I’m Robert. I build and look after the servers, networks and backups small teams depend on, and keep them documented and monitored.

From my notes
All notes- Backups
Offsite Backup to Oracle Cloud with restic
An encrypted offsite backup on an Oracle Cloud Always Free instance, no dependencies — in place of a HyperBackup setup that needed a working DSM to restore. - Updates
The Update Routine
Keeping a Proxmox cluster, Talos Kubernetes, Synology, pfSense and Docker services updated: rolling upgrades, Renovate, and a cadence that spares your weekends. - Networks
pfSense Boot Troubleshooting
One accidental reboot, three failures: a CAM disk detection delay, a serial console that locked out the keyboard, and a NIC enumeration mismatch.
What I work with
All of it runs in my homelab first.
- pfSenseFirewall
- ProxmoxServers
- OpenZFSStorage and backups
- AnsibleConfiguration as code
- KubernetesApplications
- GrafanaMonitoring
When did you last test a restore?
If nobody is sure, start with an audit. I go through your servers, network and backups and tell you what to fix first, at a price agreed before I start.
