Jerry Kroskinski

I'm a programmer & developer who builds automation tooling on top of a self-hosted homelab: Linux, open-source software and containers all the way down. When I'm not tinkering, you'll find me skateboarding.

jerry@homelab:~$ ls ~/projects

• 

  home-dashboard

  A start page that builds itself from Docker labels, pulls in about 20 services, and refuses to show stale data as current.

• 

  mc-tool

  Runs our family Minecraft servers. Kids start them from a web page, they sleep when empty, Sinterklaas leaves a gift in the game, and I get a Signal message when someone joins.

• 

  Daily briefing

  One Signal message at 7:00 with everything I need to know today, built in n8n after I retired my own Python bot.

• The Minecraft servers

  Three LAN-only servers for Java and Bedrock players, a forced rebuild for Bedrock's new network protocol, and kid-safe permissions.

• CI/CD without a Docker socket

  Push to main and the stack deploys itself, without handing CI jobs the keys to the whole host.
