I'm Elias Paitz, aka LightJack05. Welcome to my GitHub Profile!
I am a technology enthusiast from Germany. I specialize in eliminating Toil from setups and making sure they run reliably. Additionally, I attempt to create platforms that make other people's (and my) life easier and more efficient.
On the side, I also recently started doing some embedded dev, an example of which you can check out here.
If you're here to see some projects, take a look at the ones below.
Tip
Additional projects and stuff I use can be found in my stars.
Over the past years, I have moved on from just making things work to making things efficient. I ended up simplifying a VM deployment and also configuration management to just 10 lines of YAML + additional playbooks aside from the base config:
deployments:
- name: "OS-Webserver-1"
node: 4
num_cpus: 2
num_mb_ram: 4096
ipv4_address: "10.130.0.5/16"
ipv4_gateway: "10.130.0.1"
ipv4_dns: "10.130.0.1"
interfaces:
- vnet: "vnlabg"Want to see how it works? Check out my HomeLab-v2 repo
As a bit of a work-in-progress, I am currently working on building a Kernel module that serves as a Driver for an SPI epaper display and exposes an ioctl and mmap based interface for commands and framebuffer to userspace.
Take look around under my meme-pi repo.
I replaced the deprecated Go License tool with a little bit of AI-Coded script. It's very handy for managing licenses in Go projects, so you don't have to deal with it. On pretty much every PR in a Go Project, I run this tool to validate that all required licenses are present and up-to-date.
See this repo for details.
I have built a tool that listens to github repo create events and adds push-mirror entries to the newly created repo in order to allow it to be mirrored to a different server. (Should also work with Forgejo, but no guaruantees)
Take look at the code here and read the docs if you are interested.
I'm currently diving deep into Talos systems, aiming to use it to replace my current Proxmox Hypervisor for more automation potential. In the process, I will build on top of KubeVirt to enable virtualization on Talos.
My Bachelors Thesis project is planned to be a Kubernets operator allowing you to manage any SSH capable machine using Ansible via the Kuberentes API. Details on that will follow, so stay tuned!
Select your favourite platform:
- I love coffee
- I hate Toil and manual work
- I'm terrible at remembering names
- I use Arch btw.
- I use NeoVim btw.
