What actually runs this. Every number on this page comes from the machine it describes, and keeps updating while you read.
Hardware
- Host
- One machine — 16 cores, 78 GB — split into 8 virtual hosts. No cluster, no cloud.
- Storage
- 103.4 of 103.9 TB used — 99% full.
- Naming
- Hosts are named for spacecraft and deep-sky objects: apollo, orion, nebula. Bastion is the exception, and it does what it says.
Edge
- Proxy
- nginx-proxy-manager terminates TLS for 53 domains and routes to containers on internal networks.
- TLS
- Let's Encrypt, renewed twice daily by cron with a forced monthly renewal as a backstop.
- DNS
- Cloudflare, with a catch-all script for bulk record management.
Runtime
- Compose
- 12 projects here, 77 containers running across 4 hosts.
- Deploys
- Build and recreate. Never a restart — that silently reuses the old image.
- Secrets
- Per-project .env files at 0600, referenced by name. Nothing secret is committed.
- Limits
- Memory caps and log rotation are declared per project, with daemon-level defaults underneath.
Observability
- Analytics
- Visitor numbers come from parsing nginx access logs, not a tracking script — so ad blockers do not skew them.
- This page
- Every figure here is read from the machine it describes. Three collectors sample it and write JSON that this page reads; the browser refreshes them every two seconds. If a collector stops, the numbers dim rather than lie.
Backup
- Databases
- Nightly dumps with retention.
- Cleanup
- Daily image and volume pruning — the biggest reclaimer of disk on a box this size.
AI
- Router
- A self-hosted control plane routes model requests to whichever backend is healthy and capable, with fallback and full query logging.
- Usage
- Claude handles vision-based listing generation and signal analysis in the trading experiments.
