Automation
Scripts, schedules and workflows that run without me, plus the checks that tell me when one quietly stops. My homelab runs a weekly data check and an uptime check on a schedule.
Guides
Schedule a job, and know when it stops running
A cron job, a wrapper script, and a heartbeat that alerts you when the job goes silent.
Tools I use
crontab.guru (opens in a new tab)
Type a cron schedule and see in plain English when it will run.
n8n (opens in a new tab)
Workflow automation you can run yourself, connecting apps and APIs without much code.
Healthchecks.io (opens in a new tab)
Heartbeat checks that alert you when a scheduled job stops checking in.
