We Run What We Sell
Online Ingenuity was built by a homelab operator who got tired of tutorials that don't work.
Every sysadmin has a stack of browser tabs open at 2am, cross-referencing five different tutorials that each assume a different starting point. You copy a config, it doesn't work. You try another. Still broken. An hour later you're debugging someone else's typo.
Online Ingenuity exists because that experience is avoidable.
The templates, playbooks, and configs in this store come directly from a running homelab — Proxmox virtualization, TrueNAS storage, Caddy reverse proxy, a legitimate self-hosted email server, DNS, media stack, security logging. Not a demo environment. Not a sandbox. A real lab that runs 24/7.
The internet should be yours. Your data. Your infrastructure. Your rules.
We believe that. And we build tools for the people who believe it too.

What We Stand For
Self-Hosted First
We run everything ourselves. Every template we sell is pulled from a live environment — Proxmox VMs, TrueNAS storage, self-hosted email, the whole stack.
Documentation That Works
No tutorials written for a theoretical setup. Every guide is tested on real hardware. If it's documented, it works.
Security by Default
Every template includes hardening. SSH keys, firewall rules, fail2ban — security isn't an afterthought, it's baked in from step one.
Automation Over Manual Work
If you're doing it more than once, it should be automated. Ansible playbooks, Docker Compose, scripted deployments — your time is worth more than clicking through UIs.

Build Smarter. Run Leaner. Own Everything.
Stop Googling. Start Deploying.
The Internet Should be Yours.
Your Data. Your Infrastructure. Your Rules.
