Documentation¶
Operations documentation for the self-hosted infrastructure and engineering projects of Gabriel Gabrie — a Power Systems Engineering student at Conestoga College.
These docs are written for two audiences: future-me, sitting at a terminal at 11pm trying to remember why a service is configured the way it is, and anyone evaluating the engineering thinking behind the work.
What's documented here¶
Z2 Mini Homelab¶
A repurposed HP Z2 Mini G5 workstation running as a headless Ubuntu Server: encrypted remote access via Tailscale, cross-platform file sharing via Samba, drive-health monitoring with email alerts, versioned snapshot backups, and self-hosted photo storage via Immich. Replaces paid iCloud subscriptions with infrastructure I own and control.
Start with Connecting for everyday access, System Reference for the lookup-style "what's the path / port / service" page, or Immich Photo Storage for the photo library and iCloud-migration runbook.
Writing¶
Long-form write-ups of completed projects — the architecture, the trade-offs, the design decisions and why.
How to read these docs¶
- Sidebar (left) — full navigation, organized by project.
- Search (top) — full-text across every page. Try a service name, a path, or a command.
- Edit pencil (top right of each page) — opens the source
.mdfile on GitHub for direct editing. - Theme toggle (top right) — light / dark, defaults to your OS setting.
