HOME OPERATIONS
One view of the house
Bringing smart-home state, maintenance, network health, and self-hosted services into a cleaner operating layer.
BROCK FISCHER
Useful systems,
built deliberately.
A personal space for technology, home automation, infrastructure, and practical projects.
PROJECTS
What I’m building
HOMELAB
Self-hosted, but maintainable
Unraid, containers, monitoring, backups, and remote access designed around clear security boundaries.
AUTOMATION
Useful over flashy
Automations that reduce friction, collect useful data, and keep working without unnecessary cloud dependencies.
WEB
This platform
A public site at the edge with private services kept behind authenticated access instead of exposed management interfaces.
PRINCIPLES
How I want it to work
Local-firstKeep core home functions useful even when outside services fail.
Secure by separationPublic content, private apps, and administration are different trust zones.
ObservableKnow when something breaks, why it broke, and whether backups are actually recoverable.
MaintainableDocumentation and rollback matter as much as getting something running once.
