CoreConduit Platform
The integrated self-hosted system that powers CoreConduit Consulting — Raspberry Pi infrastructure, local AI services, developer tooling, and Microsoft 365 integration, all running on a single Pi 5.
The platform behind the consulting.
Most TechLounge guides focus on a single technology or project — setting up a Pi, hardening a server, running a specific tool. But the real story is how these pieces fit together into one coherent platform that runs a consulting practice.
The CoreConduit platform isn't a product. It's the actual infrastructure Cory uses every day: a Raspberry Pi 5 running Apache, Ollama, ChromaDB, Flask APIs, and a suite of open-source tools — all self-hosted, all cloud-independent, all documented here as honest records of what works in production.
