Projects
This website
2026
Self-hosted on a Raspberry Pi behind a Cloudflare Tunnel, so no inbound ports are open on the home network.
Hardened nginx container: non-root, read-only filesystem, all Linux capabilities dropped, no direct network access, strict security headers.
Live health panel below is a JSON snapshot regenerated by a host cron job every minute, so visitors get no access to the machine itself.
