Tyler Rodgers / Infrastructure, Operations, and Software
I’m Tyler Rodgers, a datacenter technician building Barndoor: a personal self-hosted infrastructure and AI operations platform. The project combines bare-metal Linux, Discord applications, public websites, monitoring, Minecraft, power telemetry, backups, recovery practice, and dedicated Raspberry Pi appliances.

This site, TM44.link, Barndoor Labs, the full Barndoor NOC, the compact Pi wallboard, Haystack, and supporting project services are operated from my self-managed environment. Source changes move through Git review, automated release checks, guarded deployment previews, and rollback-backed live updates.
Self-Hosted Source-Controlled Public-Safe Telemetry Rollback-Backed OnlineBarndoor now has authenticated edge telemetry, a touch-first Pi NOC with service intelligence, UPS awareness, shared health APIs, strict maintenance checks, and documented recovery paths. The current phase is about extracting better decisions from that evidence rather than adding another control plane.
The next improvements center on Shepherd’s bounded operator guidance, historical metrics and event quality, continuously fresh restore evidence, and documentation that can prove source, live deployment, and public copy still describe the same system.
Shepherd Historical Metrics Restore Evidence Source / Live Parity AI-Assisted OperationsMy self-hosted infrastructure and AI operations platform. Barndoor coordinates local AI, Discord apps, websites, monitoring, Minecraft, backups, power telemetry, recovery workflows, and authenticated edge appliances from one source-controlled operating model.

Latest build log
Barndoor consolidated recent server, edge, website, knowledge, AI-assistance, and operator-workflow milestones into one source-controlled platform checkpoint.
The update covers monitoring and UPS improvements, private archive and local-agent workflows, Operator Shell and retrieval tooling, Shepherd and R1 safety work, Chronicle architecture, Minecraft source hardening, public trust information, and stronger release validation.
Barndoor Operations Milestone MonitoringThe platform connects bare-metal hosting, containerized services, local AI, Discord applications, public-safe telemetry, authenticated edge reporting, source-controlled automation, and recovery documentation.
Ubuntu Server systemd Docker Caddy Node.js Ollama Discord.js Uptime Kuma Tailscale Network UPS Tools Raspberry PiBarndoor is developed with small changes, exact source/live boundaries, read-only checks before mutation, automated contracts, explicit dry runs, selective deployment, and rollback evidence. Private credentials and raw operational details stay outside the public site and outside source control.
