2024, what’s cooking?
Slowly getting into the 2024 spirit. 3 projects coming to a close this month and looking forward to a couple of new smaller projects in between.
Redoing my whole website this year, so will slowly transition and move content …
A couple of docker projects …
… im currently testdriving or expanding upon!
- MinIO / Amazon s3 replacement . using it for BOT storage right now
- Meilisearch . mostly for doing large geo radius searches
- Vikunja . self hosted To-Do app, always looking for ways to replace Asana in the future.
- Leantime . self hosted project management. This is getting close to covering all I need :)
- Bookstack . still my favorite, when it comes to documentation
- Dockge . a Portainer alternative … not really, but provides easy simple stack management :)
- Typebot . easy flexible bot builder, with a bunch of integrations. Did a quick WhatsApp bot last year, not perfect yet but really close. They iterate fast. Botpress would be an alternative, but the community edition lacks updates and regular support.
- Rocket.Chat . has been my goto chat solution for years now, still going strong!
- TimeTagger . time tracker for projects
- N8N . workflow automation, just love it. NodeRed is the solution for me locally ;)
Still doing WordPress ?
Yes I do, either via a standard / multisite installation or headless. Not reinventing the wheel for everything ;) Have done some amazing integrations using just the Rest API layer last year.
Also still enjoying creating multi-lingual websites using WPML.
When it comes to templating, I am doing pure custom layouts using Timber, Gutenberg or Elementor. The client decides what he wants and I deliver ;)
Technology Stack / Programming languages of choice?
- PHP . still my core and favorite language / Python . mostly just for fun
- Javascript / NodeJS / HTMX / hyperscript . for the fun frontend integrations, still not a TypeScript fan ;)
- G/O and Realbasic . for commandline, mobile and desktop
- Pure CSS / SaSS . for all the pure style glory, still no fan of Tailwind
- MariaDB / PostgresSQL / MongoDB / Redis / InfluxDB . and a couple of others ;)
- NGINX all the way
AI Solutions!
Love my local open source stack. Tried paid solutions, but rather not spend money and enjoy the rapid fire of new open source models ;)
- InvokeAI / ComfyUI . Image creation / processing
- LM Studio . text based models
Have a good start into 2024 and enjoy coding.

AlexI am a full-stack developer.
I love programming, design and know my way around server architecture as well. I would never feel complete, with one of these missing.
I have a broad range of interests, that’s why I constantly dive into new technologies and expand my knowledge where ever required. Technologies are evolving fast and I enjoy using the latest.
Apart from that, I am a peace loving guy who tries to have people around him that think the same. I truly believe in the principle: “If you help someone, someone will help you, when you need it."
