Platform Lab: production-grade Kubernetes on one server
A highly available Kubernetes platform with GitOps, single sign-on, policy, backups and observability, run like production on a single home server.
Platform engineering · Kubernetes · Private cloud
Reliable platforms, built as code.
Ctronix Tech designs and runs infrastructure the way production should be run: everything in Git, secured by default, monitored, and restore-tested. From Kubernetes platforms to a family's private cloud.
Selected projects
CtronixCloud: a private cloud for a family
Photos, files, office documents, passwords, paperwork and budgeting, self-hosted on Kubernetes with SSO, VPN-only access and restore-tested backups.
Network as code: a router you can rebuild in minutes
The whole router configuration in Git, applied over the API with drift detection, encrypted backups and a travel VPN that makes anywhere feel like home.
Backup cost engineering: from ~74 to ~20 CAD a month
Designing off-site backup lifecycle for terabytes of family data under a fixed budget, without giving up restorability.
How we work
Everything as code
Servers, clusters, networks and policies live in Git. Every change is a reviewed pull request with a plan.
Secure by default
Single sign-on with MFA, least privilege, network isolation, and policies that fail closed.
Proven recovery
Backups are only real once restored. Every backup type is restore-tested and documented.
Costs you can predict
Budgets, alerts and lifecycle rules, so the bill matches the plan.
