About
Technical blog — systems administration, infrastructure, homelab and open source.
Hi, I'm 50bvd. Systems and infrastructure administrator. Into homelabs, Linux, Docker and reverse engineering.
This blog collects the guides I write while building and running my own infrastructure: what worked, what broke, and how I fixed it — with real configurations rather than theory.
What I write about
- Infrastructure & Linux — Active Directory integration, migrations, Docker in production
- Homelab & virtualization — Proxmox, ZFS, repurposed hardware
- Networking & reverse proxies — HAProxy, DNS, TLS
- Security & compliance — hardening, ISMS tooling
- Open source — deploying projects and contributing fixes upstream
