Jacks Blog

Start here



Welcome — I’m Jack Levy.

I build infrastructure, automate the boring parts, and document what I learn. This site is a living hub for my homelab work, virtualization projects, automation tooling, and long-form writing.





What I’m focused on right now



  • Building a clean, cohesive self-hosted “web stack” (landing + blog + docs)

  • Publishing repeatable project writeups (architecture, tradeoffs, lessons learned)

  • Expanding my automation tooling for reliability and reduced toil

  • Developing long-form writing (book + Unobtopia constitution/whitepaper)





Where to start


For my work (portfolio / career):




For deeper technical notes + longer writeups:




For the running feed:






What you’ll find on this blog



  • Homelab builds and architecture decisions

  • VMware / virtualization notes and patterns

  • Automation scripts and workflows (PowerShell, bash, Docker)

  • Self-hosting and AI stack experiments

  • Occasional writing updates and “what I’m thinking about”





Projects I’m interested in (near-term)



  • A “docs-to-production” workflow (draft → publish) for long-form writing

  • Making infrastructure changes repeatable with templates + scripts

  • Hardening + observability for self-hosted services

  • Turning homelab work into clear, reusable case studies





Writing


I’m also working on long-form writing (book + Unobtopia materials). Drafts and published sections live primarily in Docs:
