About Me
Hi, I’m Robert. On my private blog I write about everything that comes to my mind, but mainly about topics from the Linux and open source world. I’m a Linux Engineer, open source enthusiast and a self-hosting geek.
My Linux journey began almost 10 years ago, for more than half of them maintaining and managing Linux server deployments in professional environments is my daily business.
ownCloud is an open-source file sync, share and content collaboration software. As a System Administrator at ownCloud I’m responsible for the operation and availability of the company infrastructure. That also including the Continuous Integration platform based on Drone CI which is a fundamental component for the development of our products.
The Schwarz IT is the central IT service provider of the Schwarz Group where the main customers are the two retail divisions Lidl and Kaufland. During my work as part of the Linux Server team, one challenge was to design a test-driven infrastructure environment using Ansible and Ansible Tower for more than 4.000 Linux servers in three different data centers to replace the existing Puppet configuration management.
