This page lives on hardware in a home — not in a cloud data center.
It’s part of an ongoing effort to understand how things work beneath
the surface, built using Linux and open tools.
The goal is self-reliance — operating without subscriptions,
without third-party hosting dependencies, and with full ownership of the system from
network to application.
MikeHouse.net is a simple landing page inside a larger home lab environment. It’s a place to experiment, learn, and slowly build real-world systems without relying entirely on commercial platforms.
This site is just one piece of a broader setup that includes networking, remote access, media services, and other projects being explored over time. Each piece adds another layer of understanding to how modern systems fit together.
Nothing here was rushed. This is being built step by step — learning what works, fixing what doesn’t, and improving along the way. That process is part of the point.
