Hi I’m Alex 👋.
I create audio and video content about complex technical topics ranging from Linux, to self-hosting, to open-source home automation, and make it more accessible for everyone.
I am:
- Head of Developer Relations at Tailscale
- Host of the Self-Hosted podcast over at Jupiter Broadcasting
- Author of perfectmediaserver.com
- YouTuber @ktzsystems
- Co-founder of LinuxServer.io
You can find other things I do at:
- LinkedIn - alex-kretzschmar
- Mastodon - @ironicbadger
- GitHub - Ironicbadger
- Photography - gallery.ktz.cloud
- Personal YouTube (Drumming videos, etc) - youtube/alexkretzschmar
Raised in the UK, I now live and work in Raleigh NC, USA.
I’m happily married for well over a decade, am the father of a delightfully boisterous 3 year old, and named my dog Arch(ie) after my favourite Linux distribution.
Despite my best efforts, I’m a recovering VW Golf enthusiast and regularly enjoy taking to the track - mostly at VIR.
