My Projects
status-server
A self-hosted, multi-tenant status monitoring and incident-communication platform: unlimited branded status pages, ten check types including Omada, UniFi and Square, automated incidents, SLA tracking and role-based access, all from one Node.js and MariaDB deployment.
Watchtower
With watchtower you can update the running version of your containerized app simply by pushing a new image to the Docker Hub or your own image registry. Watchtower will pull down your new image, gracefully shut down your existing container and restart it with the same options that were used when it was deployed initially.
Joe Hardware Ops
Self-hosted warehouse inventory, checkout and deployment, carrier tracking, label printing and a scheduled Joe OS update pipeline for Joe Coffee's point-of-sale fleet, integrated with Esper, Shopify, FedEx, USPS and Slack.
