Building the Lab

We’re crafting secure blueprints & hands-on guides.

XpressLabs is where we design, test, and harden self-hosted stacks — from Debian + Apache/PHP to resilient database clusters and zero-trust networking. The lab site is under construction while we finalize our first releases.

Debian • Hardening Apache / Caddy PHP • WordPress MariaDB / Galera WireGuard Backups that restore
Under construction — Phase 2/4
Build pipeline
  1. Blueprints & threat model
  2. Automated builds (compose / IaC)
  3. Observability & backup drills
  4. Docs, videos, release
What’s coming
  • Hardened Debian base (CIS-inspired)
  • Reverse proxy patterns (TLS, ACME, WAF)
  • MariaDB / PostgreSQL HA basics
  • Secure self-hosting on a budget

Security by design. Performance by default.

Zero spam. Opt-out anytime.
