I need to setup a password manager to keep track of my projects' credentials. Right now they are spread across so many places. Some in notes, some as files, some in .env, and some actually in a password manager. No idea what's where anymore. Also the links and details of all projects are getting out of hand. Which VPS, which domain, what renews when, where's the login. Need to plan something for these as well.

Field notes, experiments, and the occasional rant. A log of what I'm learning, breaking, and building — plus the random stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else.

The web framework this site is built on. Content-first, zero JS by default.
Headless CMS driving the dashboard. Open API over a SQLite file.
One compose file, the whole stack runs anywhere.
Self-hosted deployment platform for side projects. Builds Docker images on your laptop, streams them directly to your VPS — no registry needed. Containers sleep to zero when idle and wake on incoming requests, so you can host unlimited apps on a single cheap VPS. Multi-node support with mTLS, auto-placement, and a clean web dashboard. Built in Rust, under 58MB.
Fast, disk-efficient package manager. Replaced npm for me.

--> allTesting Dockhand on my local, looks very interesting. Good UI, does almost everything a docker management tool needs to do, also feels simpler to use than Portainer CE. Will share more when I find any more interesting stuff about Dockhand.
Exploring a lightweight way to monitor Docker containers and if any errors, triage them, identify issues and help resolve. I use Beszel for monitoring but Docker logs are not there. Have used Dozzle for another project which handles Docker logs and basic management. Still exploring options, haven't finalized on the final setup.
Can feel the exhaustion. Did so many things last week. This week is going to be slow and I need to stick to the working hours I set for myself. AI doesn't replace the brain thinking, if anything it increases thinking and reading and reviewing. More to think than to write code.
