Quiet person.
Loud uptime.

IT enthusiast & home lab architect from Depok, Indonesia. I build networks, containers and dashboards the way Rin camps — solo, unhurried, and properly.

01 — Basecamp

A home lab, pitched like a solo camp.

I'm Ryukura — a passionate IT enthusiast who'd rather build the internet than just scroll it. Networking, self-hosting and home labs are my kind of campsite.

My lab, Ryulabs, runs on Proxmox and Docker, with Prometheus and Grafana keeping watch through the night. Like one of Rin's trips, it's mostly a one-person operation: planned quietly, packed light, documented, and left running while I go read something by the fire.

02 — The loadout

Everything in the pack.

Six pieces of gear I trust in the field, with honest self-ratings out of ten.

Gear 01 · The bento

Docker

Experienced in containerization and deployment. Everything packed into neat little boxes, like Nadeshiko's lunch.

Gear 02 · The multi-tool

Gear 03 · The lantern

Grafana & Prometheus

Monitoring, alerting, and data visualization. A light that stays on all night so nothing creeps up in the dark.

Virtualization and server management. One sturdy shelter, many VMs sleeping soundly inside.

Ryukura · RyulabsIn development
Gear 05 · The scooter

MikroTik & OpenWRT

Routers and networking fundamentals. Gets every packet where it's going, one quiet back road at a time.

Gear 06 · The trail map

IPv4 & IPv6 networking

Network addressing, routing, and configuration for both protocols. Knows every route, old roads and new.

So is self-hosting.

    The dashboard of everything: DNS stats, uptime, socials, and a little pixel campfire burning in the background.

04 — Field notes: Shima Rin

Patron saint of solo campers (and homelabbers).

Shima Rin from Yuru Camp△: solo camper, bookworm, scooter rider, and certified enjoyer of quiet. She plans alone, packs light, reads the manual, and still makes it look effortless. Honestly? The ideal sysadmin.

  • Solo camping
  • Reading by the fire
  • Scooter road trips
  • Cup noodles at altitude
  • Small talk (improving)
