Projects

A selection of things I’ve built, hacked together, or am currently working on. More details coming as I document each project.

Stack: Synology DS218+, Docker, Tailscale, Cloudflare Tunnel, Plex Media Server (aka Ericflix™)

Self-hosted media stack with automated downloading, library management, and remote access. Runs Plex, Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, qBittorrent, SABnzbd, and Tautulli — all behind a secure VPN tunnel.

Personal Website

Stack: Hugo, HTML/CSS, Cloudflare Tunnel

This website. Built from scratch with a brutalist design philosophy. Zero JavaScript, zero dependencies, zero frameworks. Self-hosted on a Synology NAS and served globally via Cloudflare’s edge network.

Reich Memories

Consensus Building and Deliberative Democracy

Stack: Loomio, OpenProject self hosted, Nextcloud

Self hosted docker containers for managing community groups and events. I’d consider myself a semi-professional party and mid sized event planner at this point :)
