Homelab & open-source maintainer building beginner-friendly Docker and Kubernetes stacks — interactive install, safe updates, backups, and a shared ./manage.sh control center. Official upstream images only.
If a stack saved you an afternoon of YAML and compose debugging, sponsorship keeps the shared UX maintained across distros and new apps.

Sponsorship helps fund:
- Install/update/backup testing on common Linux distros
- Staying aligned with official upstream images
- More stacks that reuse the same pastel interactive
manage.shUX
