My Projects
A showcase of my work in DevOps, cloud infrastructure, and automation
NXTools Collection
A collection of tools and utilities I build to solve real-world problems - runtime security, CI/CD actions, backup automation, homelab monitoring, open-data apps, and everyday desktop tools. Every one of them is tagged with the nxtools topic on GitHub, so the topic page is always the live index.
Home Lab
Multi-node Proxmox homelab built from bare metal up. Covers networking, firewalling, storage, containers, IaC, CI/CD, security monitoring, and self-hosted services. Built to try, test, break, and learn.
Self-Hosted Ghost Blog
Security-hardened self-hosted Ghost CMS on Docker Compose: nginx reverse proxy, optional Tinybird analytics and ActivityPub, zero-trust Cloudflare Tunnel deploys, Cloudflare R2 backups, and full CI security automation. This is the stack my own blog runs on, and it doubles as an NXTool.
nx1xlab.dev - Personal Portfolio Website
My personal portfolio website, customized from Ghost's Casper theme to keep a consistent design language with my blog. Built with Eleventy and deployed to Cloudflare Pages through GitHub Actions.
Cloud-Native App on AWS EKS (GitOps)
Final project for the DevOps course at The Open University (July 2024): a React / Spring Boot / MySQL application deployed to AWS EKS with Terraform for IaC, ArgoCD for GitOps, GitHub Actions for CI/CD, and Prometheus + Grafana for monitoring.
Cloud-Native EKS Portal
Portal website for the DevOps course final project (August 2024): a static GitHub Pages landing page that links to and documents the cloud-native AWS EKS deployment.
Linode LKE Terraform Module
Terraform module that provisions a Linode LKE Kubernetes cluster together with a VPC, firewalls, and a NodeBalancer. Includes cert-manager and ArgoCD wiring. Archived snapshot, unmaintained.
Terraform VMware vSphere VM
Terraform configuration for provisioning Windows and Linux VMs on VMware vSphere - built and used at Ben-Gurion University. Archived snapshot, unmaintained.
Static Site on AWS S3 + CloudFront
Coursework CI/CD practice (Open University DevOps, March 2024): a static site deployed to AWS S3 and CloudFront via GitHub Actions using OIDC, with Route 53 DNS and IAM least-privilege roles. Archived, no longer deployed.
