Linux
- Setting up and configuring Linux desktops and servers
- Troubleshooting boot, network, storage and update problems
- Help with the command line, users and permissions
- Moving over from Windows or macOS, or running Linux alongside them
- Backups and basic security
Homelabs
- Planning and building a homelab: servers, storage and networking that fit your goals and budget
- Virtualization and containers (for example Proxmox and Docker), and getting your services running
- File storage, backups and remote access (for example a TrueNAS or other network storage box)
- Networking for the lab, including keeping it separate from the rest of the house or office
- Troubleshooting a lab that worked yesterday
- Writing down how it is set up, so you can rebuild it
Your homelab sits on your network, so it often goes with Ubiquiti networking or business network setup.
Frequently asked questions
Which Linux distributions do you work with?
Ubuntu, Debian and other common distributions. Call or text with what you run and what is wrong, and we will tell you whether we can help.
Can you build a homelab from scratch?
Yes. We start with what you want it to do and your budget, then plan the hardware, network and software.
Can you fix a homelab I built myself?
Often, yes. We look at what is there, find the cause, and explain the fix before changing anything.
Do you help small businesses with Linux servers?
Yes. For a business, we also look at backups and security, so one failure does not stop the work.
How much does it cost?
Our rate is $45 to $100 per hour, depending on how specialized the work is. You get a clear plan and cost before any work starts.
