./explore
I’m Nick. I build homelabs, self-host useful things, write the bits down, and occasionally learn why the backup mattered. This is the front door to all of it.
01 / EXPLORE
Guides when you need the exact command. Videos when you want the whole journey. Code when you’d rather inspect it yourself.
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 honest post-mortems.
COMPARE
Hosting and tools I’d actually 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
The software project I’m actively building: a clearer way to understand the infrastructure you already run.
TROVE
Trove builds a read-only service catalogue from your Docker, Kubernetes, Proxmox, and Linux environments—so the shape of your infrastructure is visible without another tool trying to control it.
03 / ABOUT
A Kiwi self-hoster, homelab builder, and content creator who learns best by making real things do real work.
Techdox is where I share the useful part of that process: what worked, what didn’t, and which tiny configuration detail consumed an unreasonable amount of an evening.
The goal isn’t to make infrastructure look effortless. It’s to make the next person’s attempt a little less painful.
04 / CONNECT
Share your build, ask a question, or tell me exactly which command I forgot to include. Discord is the best place to join the wider Techdox community.
