This post documents the steps to add the messaging app called Telegram to Linux Mint and then connecting it to OpenClaw. In this case, I already had Telegram running on my iPhone, and I wanted to add the same interface to my management laptop - for consistency in communications across all devices used to access OpenClaw.

This post documents the steps to add a new VM - for monitoring purposes - to an existing LibreNMS setup. NOTE: This is not the full LibreNMS install.

This post documents the steps I went through to install OpenClaw in a new, empty, Ubuntu 24.04 VM on one of my Proxmox hypervisors.

This post documents the steps I went through to install the LNav log rewview application on a Linux Mint laptop.

This post documents the steps I went through to install F1 Replay Timing in a new, empty, Ubuntu 24.04 VM on one of my Proxmox hypervisors.

From time to time, I want to post something to the Pontifex site, but I only really want it to be local, sometimes because it contains sensitive information, other times it's just more a note than a post. This documents that process.

This guide documents adding a self-hosted application to an existing Cloudflare Tunnel and Caddy reverse proxy infrastructure in a Proxmox-based homelab environment. The goal is to expose the application via HTTPS with Cloudflare Access authentication, enabling secure remote access.

Sparky Fitness is supposed to work very similarly to My Fitness Pal but self hosted, private, and free, so I thought I would install it and see how good it really was. This installation does not include the AI component, and I'm unsure what it adds to the app. That is for future evaluation.

This post documents the steps I went through to install Forgejo into a VM that was hosting my local Git repo containing all the Docker Compose YAML files from all of my services running in my home lab. This is not an installation from scratch, per se, as I already had a bare Git repository that I was pushing all my Docker Compose YAML files to. Forgejo provides an easy-to-access GUI interface to the Git repo.

Occasionally, Whisper AI stops transcribing, and this post just serves to remind me how to quickly get it back up and running again, as it is only one small piece of code to change once, then change back immediately after it starts working again. Less than a five-minute fix now that I have it documented.
