====== Nathan's Knowledge Base ======

Welcome to the place where all of the information gathered by [[http://nathancampos.me/|Nathan Campos]] in his adventures through the depths of programming, software, and hardware ends up. Keep in mind that this is supposed to be a living [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_base|knowledge base]] that is updated while he's researching a specific topic or working on a specific project.

Since he rarely has time to organize the topics into nice category pages, we recommend that, to get a taste of what this wiki has to offer, you should check out its sitemap.

==== Solar-powered Windows Server ====

One of the weirdest things I've done in my life, but it sure is fun to have your own website hosted in a bizarre, sustainable, and mostly self-sufficient manner. Here are some of the things I've documented along the way:

  * [[log:php-windows|PHP 5.6 on Windows Server 2008 and IIS]]
  * [[log:public-local-server|Exposing a Local Server to the Public Internet Safely]]
  * [[log:uz801-openwrt|Running OpenWRT on a UZ801 USB 4G Modem]]

==== Self-hosted Certificate Authority ====

I guess every homelab owner has had the urge to become a CA and start issuing certificates for internal domains to use HTTPS and quiet down modern browsers.
