About

Hi, I’m Kiwi.

I work as a Linux System Administrator and spend most of my time building, breaking, and rebuilding infrastructure — both at work and in my homelab.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree and have a strong background in systems, networking, and automation. Over time, my focus shifted heavily towards containerization, Kubernetes, GitOps workflows, and building reliable setups for real-world use cases like game servers, monitoring stacks, and automation tools.

This blog is where I document:

• my journey from Docker Compose to Kubernetes
• lessons learned while running game servers in containers
• experiments with GitOps, Flux, and infrastructure as code
• n8n automations I use in daily life
• monitoring, security, and backup strategies
• mistakes I made and how I fixed them

Most of the setups you’ll read about here are not theoretical. They run 24/7 in my own environment and are continuously improved as I learn more.

If you are interested in Linux, containers, Kubernetes, homelabs, or practical infrastructure design, you’ll probably find something useful here.
