Deep-dive articles and video tutorials from our engineers — covering Zabbix, Kubernetes, AI agents, and open-source infrastructure.

Hi everyone! I'm Dimitri Bellini, and welcome back to my channel, Quadrata, where we dedicate ourselves to the open-source world and the technology that drives it.

As I always say, I like this tech, but you must like it too. That's why I appreciate every comment you leave—it helps us build a community and discover solutions that might be outside my usual visual spectrum. This week, we are stepping away from our usual comfortable spaces (like Komodo or Portainer) to test a new, sleek solution for managing containers.

This week, we're diving back into the world of open-source solutions. I stumbled upon a truly stunning tool in the file-sharing space that has a wonderful nostalgic feel, reminiscent of the BBS days of the 90s. It's called Copyparty, and its charm lies not just in its retro vibe but in its incredible versatility. You can install it almost anywhere, making it a fantastic utility to have in your toolkit.

Hello everyone, Dimitri Bellini here, and welcome back to Quadrata, my corner of the internet dedicated to the world of open-source and IT. If you're like me, you love the power and flexibility of containers. But let's be honest, managing numerous containers and multiple hosts purely through the command line can quickly become overwhelming. It's easy to lose track of what's running, which services need attention, and how your host resources are holding up.

This week, I stumbled upon a solution that genuinely changed my mood and simplified my workflow: Komodo. It’s an open-source container management platform that is so well-made, I just had to share it with you.

Good morning everyone, Dimitri Bellini here! Welcome back to Quadrata, my channel dedicated to the open-source world and the IT that I love—and that you, my viewers, clearly enjoy too.

In this post, we're diving into a tool that's a bit esoteric but incredibly powerful, something I first used years ago and have recently had the chance to rediscover: Apache Guacamole. No, it's not a recipe for your next party; it's a fantastic open-source tool that allows you to connect to your applications, shells, and servers using nothing more than a web browser.

Good morning everyone, Dimitri Bellini here from Quadrata! While my channel often dives deep into the world of Zabbix and open-source monitoring, today I want to shift gears slightly. I've realized that some foundational concepts, while powerful, aren't always common knowledge, and sharing them can be incredibly helpful.

This week, we're exploring Nginx Proxy Manager. It's not a revolutionary concept in itself, but it's a tool that significantly simplifies managing access to your web services, especially when dealing with HTTPS and multiple applications behind a single IP address.
