About
Projects built around active learning — ESP32 firmware, Docker infrastructure, Home Assistant automations, and network engineering on OPNsense with Cloudflare Zero Trust.
Everything here is self-hosted, documented, and built to be useful beyond the lab bench. Community compatibility reports help expand hardware support for projects like the NUT Node.
If you have hardware that works with any of these projects, your report helps others. Use the submission portal to log your findings — logs, firmware version, device details.
Submit a compatibility report for the ESP32-S3 NUT Node. Include your serial log, firmware version, and device details. Validated submissions get added to the confirmed device list and credited to your GitHub profile.
