About
Background
I'm a high school student based in Algeria with a long-running interest in Linux, self-hosting, and systems administration. What started as curiosity about how things work under the hood has grown into a fully operational homelab: a personal infrastructure playground where I learn by doing.
I hold a Red Hat Enterprise Linux certification and continue to expand my skills in containerization, networking, and server management. My server runs as both a homelab and a personal VPS, hosting more than ten self-hosted services orchestrated through Docker and exposed through Caddy as a reverse proxy.
I want to turn this into a career in systems administration or DevOps.

Skills
Technologies I work with
Docker and containers
Composing multi-container stacks, managing volumes and networks, and deploying self-hosted applications at home and in the cloud.
Virtualization
Working with hypervisors and VM management to isolate workloads and test new environments without disrupting production services.
Networking
Hands-on with DNS, reverse proxies (Caddy), TLS certificates, VLANs, and exposing services securely over the public internet.
VPS and cloud
Managing a personal server in production: updates, security hardening, uptime monitoring, and deploying web-facing services.
Self-hosting
Running a full suite of self-hosted alternatives: media server, download management, monitoring, password vault, and more.
Projects
Selected work
Homelab and personal VPS
A self-hosted server I run for personal needs. It hosts more than ten containerized services including media streaming (Jellyfin, Plex), automated media management (Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr), a password vault, and more. All services sit behind Caddy with automatic HTTPS and are reachable from anywhere.
Algeria MC, Minecraft server
A public Minecraft server running on homelab hardware and managed through Crafty Controller. Handles server lifecycle, player management, and backups, all containerized and served on a dedicated subdomain.
Vinyl Scrobbler
An open-source tool that listens to vinyl playback through the microphone, identifies tracks using audio fingerprinting against the MusicBrainz database, and scrobbles the recognized songs to Last.fm automatically. The goal is to bring vinyl listening into the modern music-tracking ecosystem without manual logging.
