Sovereign Scheduling and Media Platform

Production-grade self-hosted services with hardware-integrated automation and zero manual certificate management.

Overview

To eliminate reliance on external schedulers and optimize media workflows, I engineered a self-hosted productivity stack. I deployed a Cal.com instance backed by PostgreSQL, securing traffic with automated TLS termination via Caddy on a virtual machine. Concurrently, I migrated a media streaming stack to a Proxmox LXC environment for enhanced resource isolation. To bridge physical and digital operations, I configured an 18-key macro pad using OpenDeck. This device now manages fleet status and media controls directly, integrating custom plugins updated via GitOps to display live system statistics.
