    From the README

    I'm Christian, and I'm passionate about creating educational tech content for IT Pros and Homelab nerds.

    Boilerplates is a curated collection of production-ready templates for your homelab and infrastructure projects. Stop copying configurations from random GitHub repos or starting from scratch every time you spin up a new service!

    The Boilerplates CLI tool gives you instant access to battle-tested templates for Docker, Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes, and more.

    Each template includes sensible defaults, best practices, and common configuration patterns—so you can focus on customizing for your environment.

    Note: Technologies evolve rapidly. While I actively maintain these templates, always review generated configurations before deploying to production.
