0x01: Hello World (or whatever)

Mar 29, 2026

If you're reading this, my Nginx reverse proxy didn't eat your request and the Docker daemon is currently in a good mood. Lucky you.

Welcome to itea.blog.

This isn't your typical "I found a cool WordPress plugin" site. This is where I document my descent into the madness of NixOS, Proxmox clusters, and Self-Hosting until my electricity bill looks like a phone number.

What to expect:

  • NixOS Flakes: Because why have a working system when you can have a declarative one?
  • Docker/Plesk Torture: Making containers dance on a server that probably deserves a vacation.
  • Homelab Carnage: Over-engineering simple tasks because I don't trust "The Cloud" (which is just someone else's computer I haven't blocked yet).

Ground Rules:

  1. Don't ask for a "Contact Me" form. I've routed all feedback to /dev/null.
  2. If the site is down, I'm probably recompiling a kernel or forgot to pay the power bill.
  3. Read the code. If you don't understand it, that's a you problem, not a me problem.

Now sit down, grab a coffee (black, like my terminal), and try not to break anything.
