It's 2026. Installing Linux, spinning up a VM, and launching containers is easy. So why does building a real cloud at home and in enterprise still feel like an enless IKEA maze? And where are the do-it-yourself instructions? Drawing on a decade of experience deploying to homelabs, enterprise clouds, even submarines, and satellites, we'll talk the talk and walk the walk live. Together, we'll build your own cloud, command by command and click by click.
Technologies include: devcontainers, nix, Docker-in-Docker, Kubernetes in containers, KubeVirt, Ceph, libvirt, KVM, Cilium, Zot, Dagger, Gitea, mise, Runme, Ghostty, tmux, Neovim, VS Code/Cursor, Talos Kubernetes, and more. It's a complete technologist's toolbelt in action.
You'll feel at home whether you're a terminal junkie, TUI connoisseur, and CLI ninja, or if you prefer a refined full IDE and click-to-run exercises. Join for hands-on technicals that break down complex bits into familiar patterns connected to the tangible hardware in your hands. Bring your laptop to follow along, or snap the QR code and try it later with friends. Take home the as-seen-on-TV toolkit and everything needed to hack your own cloud projects.
