Practical Cloud, Docker, and Self-Hosting Guides for Everyone
Hi, I'm Drew.
I'm a veteran advocate, cloud enthusiast, and open-source supporter who enjoys helping others learn how to build and deploy modern applications.
Through my blog and GitHub projects, I create step-by-step tutorials focused on:
✅ Docker deployments
✅ Linode hosting
✅ Azure and cloud technologies
✅ Cloud-init automation
✅ Self-hosted applications
✅ Open-source solutions
My goal is simple:
Make self-hosting and cloud technology approachable for beginners while providing useful automation and deployment resources for experienced users.
Every tutorial is designed to be easy to follow, cost-conscious, and practical for real-world use.
Your support helps me:
- Publish free tutorials
- Maintain GitHub repositories
- Test new deployments
- Create cloud-init templates
- Contribute to open-source projects
- Continue supporting veteran-focused initiatives
If you've found value in my content, consider buying me a coffee.
Thank you for helping keep these resources free and available to the community.
