Homelab

A multi-node bare-metal cluster running 30+ containerized services, fronted by Nginx, reachable over Tailscale, with 413 days of uptime.

Two laptops that were never bought to be servers: an HP 15s with a broken keyboard, and a Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 with a dead battery, both repaired and pressed into service. One runs the services that must always be available; the other handles media and mail. The pair sits on a shelf under a staircase in Haridwar, wired through a switch and an inverter, reachable from anywhere over Tailscale. The rule that started it: if I fixed a piece of tech, it became mine.
