Every good SysAdmin knows that there comes a point in the life of any infrastructure where continuing to patch legacy systems is no longer viable. It’s time to perform a wipe, redesign the architecture, and redeploy from scratch.

The Paradigm Shift: Goodbye to the Heavyweight CMS
For a long time, I maintained this space on traditional platforms, but as an Infrastructure Engineer, the idea of having databases running, exposed ports, and vulnerable plugins to serve simple text went against everything I apply in my daily work.
Therefore, this site has been rewritten from the ground up, applying a strictly Zero-Touch and Defense in Depth philosophy:
Frontend: Statically generated with Hugo. Zero databases, millisecond load times.
Backend: An isolated Nginx container on Alpine Linux.
Security: 100% of traffic routed through Cloudflare Tunnels (Zero Trust). The server does not have a single port open to the internet.
CI/CD: Automated deployments via GitHub Actions. I do a git push and the infrastructure takes care of the rest.
From Obsidian to the Web: The Knowledge Base (KB) is Born
The main goal of this reboot isn’t just to write for the sake of writing. In my day-to-day work managing complex corporate environments, Exchange, migrations, PowerShell automations, Backups architectures, I generate a lot of technical documentation that’s locked away in my local Obsidian vault.
Starting today, I’ll begin a gradual migration process to export that documentation and publish it here under the KB (Knowledge Base) naming convention.
The goal is simple: to create a robust, evergreen, and frictionless technical repository. If an automation script or a Proxmox troubleshooting tool saved my weekend, it’s very likely it will be useful to another engineer out there.
What’s Next
In the main section, you’ll see a mix of quick updates (like this one) and in-depth technical articles.
The production environment is stable, containers are running smoothly, and automated deployments are flowing. It’s time to start transferring the data.
End of transmission.
