Welcome! 👋

This is my first post on lupica.be. I’ve been meaning to start a blog for a while now, and here we are.

Why a Blog?

A few reasons:

  1. Documentation for myself - I often solve problems and then forget how I did it. Writing it down helps.
  2. Sharing knowledge - If I struggled with something, chances are someone else will too.
  3. Portfolio - A place to showcase what I’m working on and what I’ve learned.

What to Expect

I’ll mostly be writing about:

  • Kubernetes - Deployments, troubleshooting, and best practices
  • Homelab - Self-hosting services on Proxmox
  • Home Automation - Home Assistant, Zigbee devices, and automations
  • Infrastructure - Networking, tunneling, and everything in between

The Tech Stack

This blog itself is built with:

  • Hugo - Static site generator
  • PaperMod - Clean, minimal theme
  • GitHub Actions - CI/CD for automatic deployments
  • Caddy - Serving static files on my VPS
  • Pangolin - Secure tunneling for external access

The whole thing is version-controlled and deployed automatically when I push to the main branch. No manual deployments needed.

Let’s Go

That’s it for now. Stay tuned for more content!
