Open-source infrastructure tools
MCP servers, shared libraries, automation helpers, and operational tooling designed around permission boundaries and production constraints.
03 // ABOUT
Node804 is a home for
infrastructure projects.
Node804 is the home for open-source infrastructure projects, homelab systems, and practical notes from building tools for real operations.
NODE804
A public workshop for infrastructure software and lab work.
Node804 is the brand and home for open-source infrastructure projects built around real operational problems: automation, systems integration, secure defaults, observability, and tools that fit the way IT work actually happens.
The first public releases are two MCP servers and supporting toolkit work. More projects are in progress, but they will show up here only when they are ready to be useful in public instead of just interesting in a private lab.
Explore projects →Self-hosted test ground
The homelab gives projects a real environment to run against: storage, Docker, Omada networking, Veeam recovery, monitoring, and failure modes.
Field reports and decisions
Writing captures build notes, technical decisions, lessons learned, and the tradeoffs that shape the tools instead of only showing finished artifacts.
Public when it is ready
There are more projects than the public list shows. Node804 favors releasing fewer things clearly over publishing half-finished repositories for volume.
BEHIND NODE804
Built by Michael Pope.
Node804 is maintained by Michael Pope, an infrastructure engineer focused on secure systems, resilient operations, automation, backup, and disaster recovery. That background informs the projects here, but this site is primarily about the code, the lab, and the operating notes.
