Stack

The whole stack, from the Linux server to the AI model

$ tree --level 6 ~/stack

Layer by layer, from bare metal to AI

  1. Artificial intelligence

    Models that read documents and answer questions about your data, inside the workflow

    • Claude
    • ChatGPT
    • Gemini
    • Llama
    • Perplexity
  2. Frontend

    What people use every day: hand-written HTML and CSS, JavaScript where it's needed

    • HTML5
    • CSS3
    • JavaScript
    • jQuery
    • Bootstrap
    • Three.js
    • Chart.js
  3. Backend

    The logic that runs the system: modern PHP, Laravel, queues and APIs

    • PHP
    • Laravel
    • Filament
    • Composer
    • Node.js
    • npm
  4. Database

    Data comes before screens: tables, relations and indexes built to last

    • MySQL
    • MariaDB
    • phpMyAdmin
  5. Web server

    Traffic lands here: virtual hosts, SSL, caching and scripts that work overnight

    • Nginx
    • Apache
    • Bash
  6. Infrastructure

    Where everything runs: Linux VPS, DNS and certificates. I set it up myself, from the first SSH line

    • Linux
    • Ubuntu
    • Debian
    • DigitalOcean
    • Cloudflare
    • Let's Encrypt
