Home Assistant · Docker · Self-hosting
Open-source tools for Home Assistant, Docker, and self-hosting. Less manual work, more control — and fewer things to babysit.
Featured work
Projects focused on making real-world self-hosting, smart home, and Docker workflows easier to use.
Back up Docker volumes and host directories from one self-hosted dashboard. Schedule jobs, keep an eye on your backups, and restore when it matters.
Keep Cloudflare Tunnel routes, DNS records, and optional Access policies in sync with your Docker labels.
Multiple routes per container, with a dry-run mode to preview changes before applying them.
Bring supported Aqara cameras, doorbells, hubs, presence sensors, and locks into Home Assistant with live cloud updates.
Includes hub child-device sensors and optional camera streaming through go2rtc. Requires an Aqara developer project and the companion bridge.
Manage Home Assistant user groups and their permissions from one dedicated interface.
Configure entity access and dashboard visibility, with label-based bulk editing for existing devices and entities.
Create and manage Home Assistant guest login links with optional time windows and usage limits.
Share QR codes, choose a landing dashboard, or control recurring access with a schedule or input boolean. Uses an existing Home Assistant user.
Start, stop, and monitor Docker containers and Compose stacks from your Elgato Stream Deck.
Choose a Docker context per key, or browse and toggle stacks with a Stream Deck + dial.
Main playgrounds
Most of my work lives at the intersection of smart home automation, self-hosting, infrastructure tooling, and developer experience.
How I think
Automation beats documentation, and documentation beats manual steps.
If it breaks easily, it is probably not finished yet.
Security should protect the workflow without making it painful to use.
The best tools make complex things feel calm, obvious, and reversible.
Behind the name
Darkdragon14 is an old childhood nickname that somehow survived. I kept it because it still reminds me to build things with curiosity, not just seriousness.
