2026-08MIGRATION
Service migration
Selected services moved from an SBC-centric start to a dedicated x86 server tier. The result is more headroom, cleaner failure domains and easier maintenance.
SERVICE CONSOLIDATION

SELF-HOSTED / BUILT TO EVOLVE
VojkaOS
An independent home-server project and the open journal behind it — self-hosted tools, media, automation, a local AI lab and a Windows-98-era sleeper PC, built in small, verifiable steps.

2026 / Recent upgrades
What changed during the latest development stretch: service migrations, recovery work, network redesign, workstation experiments and a growing local AI lab.
2026-08RECOVERY
Backup & Recovery
Backups are being treated as a recovery system, not just a copy job: inventories, integrity checks, restore notes and safer migration plans.
VERIFY, THEN TRUST2026-08NETWORK
Network foundation
A dedicated firewall platform, private DNS design and IPv6-aware remote access are becoming the new network foundation.
FOUNDATION REWORK2026-08WORKSTATION
Dual-boot workstation
A workstation now runs Windows and Linux side by side, giving GPU-heavy local experiments a dedicated Linux environment without giving up the Windows side.
WINDOWS + LINUX2026-08LOCAL AI
Local AI Lab
Local image models gained a browser interface and isolated per-model workers. The focus is reproducible experiments without depending on a cloud runtime.
LOCAL / ISOLATED WORKERS2026-08RETRO HARDWARE
Sleeper integration
The retro machine has moved beyond the planning stage: core hardware integration is under way, with boot validation and the remaining retro details next.
INTEGRATION PHASE2026-08-20PUBLIC WEB
Public site v1.7
The website became part of the experiment: one HTML file, multilingual, interactive, source-linked and substantially faster to load.

NAME / PLACE / BACKBONE
Why Vojka?
The name comes from Vojka, a village in Srem, Serbia. Its landscape has carried routes for centuries. That makes it a strangely perfect name for a project about networks, systems and things that keep moving.
MODE: ROMAN ROAD / LEGACY TRANSPORT
BASSIANAEwest / Srem
VOJKAbackbone node
SINGIDUNUMeast / Belgrade
THE BACKBONE CONTINUES
ROMAN PERIOD
West → East
Archaeological research documents a major west-east Roman road through the territory of modern Vojka. It connected Bassianae with Singidunum.
MIGRATION PERIOD
Brdašica
Brdašica is an Avar-period necropolis. A belt buckle from a Hunnic warrior was also found in the Vojka area during excavations in the 1960s.
1416
Written record
Vojka is first mentioned in written records in 1416.
LATER CENTURIES
Windmills & borderland
The village later became known for windmills, border guards and vineyards. The windmills are still remembered in the village coat of arms.
2026
VojkaOS
The name becomes VojkaOS. Roads become routes, relays become services and the backbone keeps going.
PLAYFUL METRIC
Backbone uptime
~1800 YEARS*
A joke, not an archaeological uptime SLA. The Roman-road layer is historical; the metric is playful.
ROADS → ROUTESmovement becomes routing
RELAYS → SERVICEShandoffs become workloads
SIGNALS → TELEMETRYvisibility becomes monitoring
MAPS → TOPOLOGYpaths become systems
SAME VILLAGE. NEW PACKETS.Roman road → modern network. No major-version bump required.
Historical claims here are source-linked. The backbone metaphor, upgrade button and terminal jokes are ours.
Ecosystem
Small modules with real jobs, connected by a privacy-first design.
Infrastructure
Containers, storage, backups, private DNS, monitoring and the technical foundation.

A new encrypted path connects trusted remote clients to selected private services without opening inbound router ports.
OPEN NETWORK →Sleeper PC / Windows 98
Started in July 2026. The Windows-98-era shell is now in active hardware integration. Core components are moving into place; boot validation, fitment, retro I/O and finishing work come next. The goal stays the same: nostalgic outside, wildly overqualified inside.

PROJECT STAGEAlpha
BACKUP AUTOMATION / VojkaOS
Backup, verify, then tell Mila
The VojkaOS backup solution is custom-built to run the backup automatically, verify the result afterwards and only then report the outcome. If verification succeeds, WatchMila receives the good-news event. If something is wrong, the same path turns into a warning instead of silently pretending everything is fine.
01 · BACKUPCreate the scheduled backup automatically.
02 · VERIFYCheck that the produced backup is actually valid.
03 · WATCHMILAPublish a success event or raise a warning when validation fails.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
A wrong DNS setting was noticed immediately
During network configuration, an incorrect DNS value was entered on one network. WatchMila detected the resulting problem immediately and surfaced a warning, turning a small configuration mistake into a visible event instead of a quiet failure.

LATEST BUILD / v1.7
Backbone Edition: the site gained the Why Vojka story, sourced history, an interactive Roman-road-to-network visual, refreshed progress notes and a larger terminal toybox.
2026-08
Selected services were migrated and consolidated onto a more capable x86 server tier, reducing dependence on a single small node.
2026-08
Backup work expanded from “copy it somewhere” toward inventories, verification, restore notes and migration-aware recovery planning.
2026-08
The network foundation moved toward a dedicated firewall platform, private DNS design and IPv6-aware remote connectivity.
2026-08
A workstation gained a Linux dual-boot path for GPU-heavy local AI experiments while keeping its Windows environment.
2026-08
The local AI lab grew into a browser-facing multi-model environment with isolated workers and reproducible model-specific launch paths.
2026-08
The Sleeper PC moved into active hardware integration. The retro shell remains the joke; validation and finishing are the serious part.
NEXT
Continue the network migration, harden recovery workflows, publish better project stories, expand monitoring and keep iterating.
Project album
Sleeper PC photos will be one of the first real project collections. The gallery stays folded until you want it.

AVAILABLE COMMANDS
Try the less sensible ones too:
ping rome, traceroute singidunum or cat /etc/vojka/history.About VojkaOS
VojkaOS is where home servers, networks, local AI, automation, retro hardware and slightly unnecessary experiments end up living together.

The website is designed to work with minimal data collection. Any future feature that processes personal data should have a clear purpose, collect only what it needs and use appropriate protection.
PUBLIC INFORMATION
Documentation, not a service offer
This website is a public window into an ongoing personal technology project. Information may change as the project evolves and is provided for documentation and demonstration purposes.
DESIGN PRINCIPLE
Small surface, strong character
The site stays intentionally lightweight: one file, minimal dependencies, clear project notes, source links where history matters and enough terminal nonsense to keep it fun.
THE NAME
Why Vojka?
The project name comes from a real place with a surprisingly deep infrastructure story. The sourced history and the intentionally ridiculous backbone analogy live on their own page.
OPEN WHY VOJKA →
Short version: VojkaOS is an independent personal project, not a company, shop, employer or paid service. Brand names identify technologies, not partnerships. The site is a living technical journal for experiments, milestones and the occasional ridiculous terminal joke.
