ServerStead

A long-running project about making my homelab feel less fragile — backups, observability, and not SSH’ing in at 1am unless I mean it.

ServerStead is the umbrella name for “stop treating the lab like a pile of surprises.”

Current focus:

  • Documented restore paths (even boring ones)
  • Metrics that answer “is it actually up?” instead of vibes
  • Fewer snowflake containers, more boring Compose files

It will never be finished. The goal is steadier, not perfect.

comments offline / planned

Visitor comments are planned for a future release. They will run on my own server (Cerb), not a third-party comment host.
