Current

neversettledblog.com live

A fully self-hosted travel blog for a military family. Built from scratch — FastAPI backend, SQLite database, Caddy reverse proxy. Posts are written via a custom admin panel, rendered to static HTML on publish, and served directly. No CMS, no managed hosting.

Sovereign Signal live

A faith, culture, and geopolitics blog for sovereignty-minded readers — military families, Reformed Christians, and people who think the mainstream narrative is missing something. 23 posts published. Same FastAPI + Caddy stack as neversettledblog.com, running at sovereign.havoclabs.org.

NUC 13 Homelab in progress

A local homelab server built on an Intel NUC 13 with 6TB of storage running Ubuntu Server 24.04. Pi-hole, WireGuard VPN tunneled back to the VPS, Synology NAS integration. Working toward a full self-hosted stack and eventually a custom dashboard.

Pipeline

HavocLabs Intelligence planned

The flagship platform — a self-hosted personal research and intelligence dashboard. Modules: Conflict Monitor (real-time geopolitical updates), Source Tracker (narrative provenance), and a biblical/prophetic context layer. AI analysis via the Claude API. Built for serious researchers in the faith-meets-geopolitics space.

Claude API FastAPI n8n Docker Self-hosted
Scripture Study Tool planned

AI-powered Bible study app. Ask questions, get cross-references, commentary, original language context (Greek/Hebrew). Privacy-first — no data sent to Google or OpenAI. Self-hosted Claude API backend. Target: bible.havoclabs.org.

Source Tracker planned

Maps claims back to primary sources and traces how narratives spread. Input a headline or claim; get the source chain, original context, and who picked it up and when. First tool feeding into HavocLabs Intelligence.

Conflict Monitor planned

Self-hosted dashboard aggregating real-time updates from conflict zones. RSS + Telegram/Substack ingestion via n8n, Claude-generated daily summaries, region filter, timeline view. A module within HavocLabs Intelligence.

Sermon / Devotional Generator planned

Claude-backed tool that builds weekly devotionals from a Bible passage or theme. Admin panel similar to the blog stack. Output could feed directly into Sovereign Signal's faith section.

Scrapped

Mailcow Email Server scrapped

Self-hosted email for @neversettledblog.com. Got it fully configured — Caddy SSL termination, webmail UI, SPF/DKIM/DMARC DNS, certificate sync script. Worked, but the maintenance overhead wasn't worth the low actual usage.

Listmonk Newsletter scrapped

Self-hosted newsletter for Sovereign Signal running Listmonk + PostgreSQL. Got it deployed and routed. Never built the subscriber base to justify running it. Taken down.

Local RAG / LLM Archive scrapped

Ollama running dolphin3:8b paired with ChromaDB for vector storage and a FastAPI chat interface. Got the full stack running — file watcher, streaming chat UI, SSL via Caddy — then pulled the plug. The 2-CPU VPS makes inference painfully slow and a 5GB model + ChromaDB left no headroom. Good experiment, wrong hardware.

HAVOCLABSOS scrapped

Attempt to fork CasaOS and rebrand the UI as a custom homelab dashboard. Got a dev environment up, squashed a webpack host-check bug and a missing Vue import — then realized there was no backend to log into. The plan lives on, the repo doesn't.

Past

n8n Automation past

Self-hosted n8n at n8n.havoclabs.cloud. Personal workflow automation — self-hosted Zapier alternative. Caddy HTTPS, Docker. Taken down when the VPS was repurposed for neversettledblog.com.

havoclabs.cloud past

The original HavocLabs site — homelab portfolio and personal landing page on the VPS. Also hosted blog.havoclabs.cloud (precursor to neversettledblog.com) and a lab email subdomain. Taken down to repurpose the VPS; its patterns carried into the current setup.
