Okay, where to start?

Hmm, let me think, maybe I’ll start by describing my homelab, where this blog is hosted.

The Beginning:

It all started with a Raspberry Pi 3 around 2017 or later. Initially, I just used it as embedded hardware, playing with Python 3 and GPIO for educational projects like turning on LEDs through a web interface and similar stuff.

Then I discovered Nextcloud, which seemed amazing to me, so I tried deploying an instance on my Raspberry Pi—and it worked! But back in 2017, I had an FWA internet connection, so no port forwarding for me :-( I didn’t like the idea of using my Nextcloud instance only locally like a dumb NAS.
