Publishing Python packages to PyPI
- 25 April 2026
After many years of shipping my code via git, finally I dedicated some time to learn Python packaging.
You can publish to the Python Package Index (PyPI) repository using couple of steps.
Before you start, you may want to check if your preffered project name avaliable. If someone already publish anything with that name in PyPI, you’ll need to find an alternative.
Self-hosting movies
- 14 April 2026
I started hosting video streaming over a year ago. I’m using Jellyfin media server.
It’s straightforward to install it using yunohost.
One of the big advantages of using yunohost is simiplified user management across apps/services: you create user accounts in yunohost once and those accounts are used by apps supporting LDAP.
Peru
- 21 February 2026
I have plenty of fun writting about our adventures in Vietnam. So I decided to write up our experiences from Peru.
We visited Peru in the summer of 2023 (south) and in the winter of 2021-2 (north) .
It will take a few weeks to complete each of them…
Vietnam
- 24 January 2026
We spent nearly 4 weeks travelling in Vietnam and I wanted to share our experience and some tips you may find usefull.
It was our first time in Asia and it was wonderful. Locals are extremely kind and friendly, nature is amazing and the food is delicious and very diverse.
Personally it was the best trip of my life and I’m looking forward to return to South-East Asia. Hopefully, next winter!
Self-hosting: domain and DNS zone

Over next few weeks/posts, I’ll focus solely on self-hosting adventure. To start, beside free time and motivation to learn new things, you will need just a few components:
internet connection with public IP
router allowing port forwarding

Let’s begin the privacy quest
- 27 January 2025
I’ve been thinking about privacy-related topics for several years now. But it never was a priority.
My approach started to shift lately…
Over the years I’ve been experimenting a lot with alternative apps/services and self-hosting. Recently, I got determined enough to get rid of the last privacy-intrusive apps/services. It ain’t easy, but it’s possible!
Hello world!
- 01 April 2024
Welcome to my new blog! I’ll gradually describe all my adventures with self-hosting of various services, including blog/website, files and photos.
I started my website/blog in 2014. It was served using wordpress that was set up on virtual machine (VM) in google cloud.
I felt for a long time that running a dedicated VM for a blog is an overkill. There was huge overhead in maintaining both, the VM (regular system updates and backups) as well as wordpress itself (updates and database backups).
