Welcome To The Webhole!

👋 Hey, I’m Clifford.

Builder of Clifford’s Webhole — my corner of the internet for building, experimenting, breaking things, fixing them, and learning along the way.

I build and manage self-hosted systems, web applications, AI tools, automations, and open-source projects — including WebholeVault, WebholeInk, Webhole Labs, and my multi-site web infrastructure.

My work blends web development, Linux server engineering, Docker, security, AI, and automation into one connected digital ecosystem.

⚡ What I Do

🧩 Build and maintain self-hosted VPS infrastructure with Ubuntu, Docker, Nginx Proxy Manager, and UFW

🕸️ Develop and manage websites, web applications, WordPress platforms, and custom web projects

🤖 Experiment with AI models, custom agents, APIs, FastAPI applications, and automated workflows

☁️ Build automation pipelines with n8n, APIs, and AI services

🔐 Design backup, security, and disaster-recovery workflows using Bash, cron, Backblaze B2, and rclone

💻 Develop from Linux, Android Termux, and cloud infrastructure

🌱 Keep one foot offline with beekeeping, gardening, and homesteading

📌 Featured Projects

🔐 WebholeVault

A privacy-first photo and video storage platform built from the ground up.

WebholeVault combines FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Docker, authenticated media delivery, private Cloud storage, thumbnails, video playback, trash and restore, upload progress, account management, and administrative tooling.

The goal is simple: private media storage without turning your personal photos and videos into a social network.

🖋️ WebholeInk

My open-source, database-free publishing engine.

WebholeInk uses Markdown, PHP, nginx, and a simple filesystem architecture to power fast, lightweight websites without requiring a traditional CMS database.

🧪 Webhole Labs

My private AI playground for experimenting with FastAPI, AI models, custom agents, APIs, memory systems, and automation.

🕵️ Webhole OSINT

A private defensive OSINT environment for domain, IP, username, case, evidence, and asset research.

⚙️ n8n Automation

Self-hosted automation workflows connecting RSS feeds, AI models, websites, APIs, backups, and content publishing.

🧭 Mission Statement

I believe the internet is a lot more interesting when you build your own corner of it.

My goal with Clifford’s Webhole is to experiment, learn, document, and create systems that I actually control — from the server and applications all the way to the content running on them.

I believe in:

• Owning my infrastructure
• Building instead of just consuming
• Automating repetitive work
• Protecting privacy
• Learning relentlessly
• Breaking things occasionally
• Figuring out how to fix them
• Sharing what I learn

🔥 What I’m Working on Right Now

• Developing and testing WebholeVault
• Expanding WebholeInk
• Experimenting with AI tools inside Webhole Labs
• Building defensive tools for Webhole OSINT
• Improving Docker and VPS infrastructure
• Expanding automated backup and disaster-recovery systems
• Building n8n automation and content pipelines
• Developing Android integrations for Webhole projects
• Growing the Clifford’s Webhole developer ecosystem and brand
