I’m Nick. I run a homelab in New Zealand, publish the commands that worked, build open-source software, and occasionally learn why the backup mattered.
01 / EXPLORE
Read the build notes, follow a setup guide, watch the full process, or inspect the source code.
READ
Build notes, lessons learned, and the occasional post written after something fought back.
FOLLOW
Step-by-step self-hosting and infrastructure guides.
WATCH
Tutorials, rebuilds, reviews, and post-mortems that include the failed steps.
COMPARE
Hosting and tools I’d point someone towards.
WEAR
Terminal mugs, homelab shirts, and evidence of questionable uptime.
SHARE PRIVATELY
Send encrypted text or an attachment with expiry, password, and burn-after-reading options. Free for anyone to use.
02 / FLAGSHIP PROJECT
Source code and releases are public on GitHub.
TROVE
Trove reads Docker, Kubernetes, Proxmox, and Linux environments and builds one service catalogue. It does not write to the systems it observes.
03 / ABOUT
I’m a Kiwi self-hoster who builds homelabs, runs services at home, and documents the failures along with the fixes.
Techdox records what worked, what failed, and which configuration detail caused it. You get the commands and failure notes before starting your own build.
04 / CONNECT
Share your build, ask a question, or tell me exactly which command I forgot to include. Discord is where Techdox readers and builders meet.
