Infrastructure automation and configuration management are two essential practices in modern IT operations, particularly in the DevOps & Cloud.

Set up WordPress with a MySQL database and Redis as an object cache on Docker with an NGINX Reverse Proxy for blazing-fast performance.

Self-host the open-source, privacy-focused note-taking app Memos using Docker with a MySQL database and integrate with S3 or Cloudflare R2 object storage.
