Proven guides tackling costly business challenges. Expert playbooks on self-hosting, automation, and digital sovereignty for practical builders & entrepreneurs.
This is not a blog. This is a curated digital garden—a collection of definitive, battle-tested guides designed to solve specific, expensive problems.
Each playbook is a deep-dive, meticulously crafted to be the only resource you need on the subject. I believe the best solution to a complex problem isn’t a magic black box, but a crystal-clear set of instructions. This is my attempt to create them.
Here you will find a growing library of guides. Each one is designed to fill an information vacuum and provide a clear path to a powerful outcome.
A step-by-step blueprint for deploying a secure, scalable Odoo instance from scratch, while navigating the common pitfalls that can lead to a $48,000 disaster.
The definitive guide to migrating Odoo databases with zero data loss and minimal downtime. Battle-tested methodology from 300+ successful migrations, covering everything from risk assessment to disaster recovery.
More playbooks are being cultivated and will be published here soon.
Alongside the guides, I build and maintain a collection of open-source scripts. Here are a few featured tools:
Migration Risk Assessor A shell script to quickly analyze your Odoo database to identify potential migration risks.
Environment Compatibility Checker A Python script to verify system environments to prevent compatibility-related failures.

My name is Aria, and I’m a Digital Plumber.
I find broken, leaking, or missing pipes on the internet—specifically, the gaps in knowledge between powerful tools and the ambitious people who need to use them. I thrive on untangling complexity and turning it into a clear, repeatable process.
This garden is my answer to the frustration of fragmented documentation, superficial tutorials, and the endless search for a straight answer. It’s a quiet corner of the internet dedicated to the craft of building robust, independent systems. It is the collection of guides I wish existed when I was stuck.
I build these playbooks for fellow builders, pragmatists, and business owners who believe in the power of digital sovereignty.
