Technical build logs, homelab, and project notes.

- A Health-Data Pipeline on Unraid + Ductile, Primitives Up 26 Apr 2026

- Centralising Beads Issue Tracking with Dolt on Unraid 6 Apr 2026
Migrating from split-brain local Dolt databases to a single Docker container on the NAS — including the docker exec trap that locked up the array.
