About This Site

This site shares a bit of informal documentation and more blog-based record keeping. Providing commentary on design decisions should be just as useful as some of the technical documentation however included in my repositories.

My Setup

I mainly use RHEL flavours of linux having both CentOS and Fedora machines. Most hosted services run on CentOS 8 at the moment albeit they are approaching end-of-life. Overall the package repository for CentOS 7/8 is just right. I rarely need to compile anything from source and packages are very stable. I will eventually migrate to Fedora completely which is where I operate my development environment.

This is a list of my most used self-hosted services:

  • Gitea: Git server with web interface for repository mirrors and personal repos
  • Plex: multi-media hosting service for streaming movies and tv-shows
  • NextCloud: Cloud storage for synchronizing and sharing files
  • Cockpit: Web base administration portal managing linux boxes
  • RoundCube: Web based email client
  • Postfix/Dovcot: Email stack providing SMTP for my domain
  • NGINX: HTTP server serving as proxy for internal web services
  • Danbooru: Ruby-on-rails based image hosting and tagging service

There are several others that I have tried but these really have been the things I relied on the most in the past 5 years or so. I think the only thing that is possibly missing from this list is possibly the equivalent of a centralized LDAP service but I simply haven't had to manage more than handful of users.

Currently I develop quite a bit of python utilities for scraping, labelling, and managing media in an automated fashion. In part I am preparing data for one of my long term projects which is related to image classification based on structural decomposition rather than textural features. The main idea here is to analyse and extract structure in an image before performing in-depth analysis such that said analysis is most specific to its context.
