Lavallee.tech documents the design, operation and evolution of a self-hosted Linux infrastructure.
This website serves both as an engineering journal and as a public portfolio of infrastructure projects: Proxmox hosts, Docker services, Ansible automation, monitoring, reverse proxies, VPN access and open-source collaboration tools.
A real infrastructure restructuring project: separating critical production workloads from staging, lab and migration work.
Move from a single overloaded host to a clearer two-node Proxmox architecture with explicit operational boundaries.
Split heavy playbooks into smaller repositories and roles: foundation, platform services and applications.
Replace selected YunoHost services with documented Docker stacks while preserving backups and operational visibility.
Turn runbooks, incidents, diagrams and deployment notes into public engineering documentation.
Selected infrastructure and application projects used to demonstrate practical Linux engineering work.
Infrastructure automation project for deploying applications across separated environments using Ansible, Docker and reverse proxies.
Migration path from YunoHost-based services to Docker-based Matrix and Nextcloud deployments.
Factur-X / PDP-oriented application prototype for demonstrating structured electronic invoice generation.
Long-form notes about architecture decisions, migrations, operational incidents and infrastructure design.
RAM pressure, operational boundaries and the need for safer experiments on real infrastructure.
How to approach stateful applications, volumes, reverse proxy rules, backups and observability.
Prometheus, Grafana, Loki and blackbox monitoring for practical day-to-day operations.
This platform showcases my Linux engineering work, infrastructure projects and technical notes. It is intended both for recruiters and for local organizations looking for practical open-source solutions.
Coming from LinkedIn or GitHub? Explore my projects, technical articles and architectural decisions to understand how I design, automate and operate Linux infrastructures.
Explore ProjectsLooking for Nextcloud, VPN, Linux servers, backup solutions or open-source alternatives to cloud services? I can help design and deploy solutions that are simple, sustainable and well documented.
