How I solve it

What I build

I deploy and adapt a bounded business stack on infrastructure you control. I define where records live, how integrations authenticate and what happens when a component fails. The build includes an agreed backup and restore check. Component selection includes its licence, maintenance status and limits.

The process

How it works

6 steps. Scope and a fixed price are agreed before the first one.

  1. Map the records, integrations and operational responsibilities.

  2. Evaluate upstream components and decide which are suitable for the intended use.

  3. Deploy with defined access and a documented secrets migration path.

  4. Connect booking or payment status only after testing the required lifecycle.

  5. Restore a synthetic backup in an isolated environment and record the result.

  6. Hand over update, recovery and incident procedures with a named operator role.

Handover

What you get

  • A deployed scope with component and licence records.
  • Defined access and integration ownership.
  • A restore check and an operating runbook.
  • Clear limits on components that remain experimental or incomplete.

Built with

  • Self-hosted services
  • a CRM
  • optional booking and payment integrations
  • a secrets store and backups
  • Related work uses Relaticle
  • Cal.diy and OpenBao
  • These are upstream projects
  • using one is a scoping decision
  • not a default recommendation for production

Proof

Done before, with dates and numbers

Own product Built and run by me, in production.

Before → after

The intended change is from disconnected services with unclear ownership to a documented, recoverable stack. My own hosting and CRM operations provide backing. The secrets migration is incomplete, and the booking work is a fork with a Stripe payment webhook added, not a verified live paid-booking service. Cal.diy upstream says not for production; Relaticle is AGPL.

  • My own infrastructure

    hosting, CRM deployment, overlays and backups provide the operational backing. Secrets migration is at design and first-canary stage; the booking fork has a Stripe payment webhook but no verified live paid booking.

What you can look at

I would prepare a synthetic architecture and recovery record showing a backup restored into an isolated environment. The public sample would omit hosts, addresses, credentials and customer records. It has not been prepared for this draft.

Own infrastructure, not a delivered combined client stack. Relaticle is AGPL upstream software. Cal.diy upstream says not for production. A Stripe payment webhook was added to the fork; live paid booking is not established. OpenBao migration is incomplete.

Price and timeline

What it costs and how it runs

A Custom Engineering Project starts from USD 1,500. Continued engineering can use a Technical Partnership from USD 1,000 per month. Hosting costs and maintenance responsibilities are agreed separately in the written scope.

A note from Daniilbefore you decide

When you don’t need this

If a managed service meets your requirements and your team does not want to own operations, keep it. Self-hosting needs an operator and a reason to take on updates, access management and recovery.

Questions

What people ask about this

Did you build the CRM and booking software?

No. They are upstream projects. My work is deployment, adaptation, integrations and operations within the agreed scope.

Does self-hosting remove maintenance?

No. Someone must own updates, access, recovery and incident response. I agree those responsibilities before migration.

Is the documented booking fork ready for production?

Its upstream says not for production. The webhook addition is not proof of production readiness or a live paid booking.
