Self-Hosted • Containerized • Secure

Personal Infrastructure, Home Lab & Systems Lab

Welcome to ninrir.com. An exploration environment dedicated to Linux server administration, Docker container orchestration, automated edge routing, and resilient self-hosted services.

Architectural Focus

Core Infrastructure Pillars

Designing for reliability, isolated blast radiuses, and automated continuous deployment.

Containerization & Stacks

Orchestrating modular workloads with Docker Compose. Microservice isolation, resource limiting, and persistent storage volumes mapped for rapid redeployment.

  • Docker & Compose Profiles
  • Immutable App Deployment
  • Isolated Bridge Networks

Network Routing & Ingress

Dynamic reverse proxying, Cloudflare edge proxy integration, automated Let's Encrypt TLS/SSL renewals, and encrypted mesh overlays.

  • Nginx Proxy Manager & Routing
  • Cloudflare DNS & Proxy Shield
  • Strict HSTS & HTTPS Enforcement

Linux Systems & Security

Hardened bare-metal server operations, centralized telemetry, pooled storage systems, and automated off-site backups with strict zero-trust rules.

  • Debian / Ubuntu Server LTS
  • UFW Firewall & SSH Key Auth
  • Health & Metric Telemetry
