a small crew · est. in the Netherlands

We build software, run our own servers and keep history rolling. Every project starts as a small splash.

dive in

Things we make, host and help run.

No agency, no sales pitch. A handful of people who like to tinker, each with their own corner: code, servers, 3D printers, and olive-drab vehicles from the 1940s. These are the projects we actively work on.

Volura

3D design for printing, laser cutting & CNC

Draw a flat face, pull it into a solid. Volura brings the SketchUp way of working to makers: push/pull modelling, multicolour 3MF for the printer, SVG and DXF for the laser cutter, and a check that every part is watertight before it leaves the screen. For Windows and Linux.

WW2 vehicle rides past care homes

Convoys of restored Second World War vehicles that ride past care homes, bringing the sound and smell of 1944 to the people who remember it. History lives. Memories remain.

  • BoardOne of our crew sits on the board, together with two external board members.
  • Website & hostingAnother crew member builds the website, the ride registration system and hosts it all.

CinemaViewer

A full cinema experience on one PC

Films from Jellyfin, Plex, network shares, USB or DVD and Blu-ray on the projector, with a separate control screen for the operator. Subtitles in the right language, a "now showing" card on extra screens, and a Linux kiosk image that updates itself.

RTSP → ONVIF

Virtual cameras for any NVR

Turns plain RTSP streams into virtual ONVIF cameras, each with its own MAC address and its own IP from DHCP. To an NVR like UniFi Protect they look like real devices. Optional object detection for cameras that have no brains of their own.

AX93304

Bringing a server front panel back to life

An Unraid plugin that drives the Axiomtek AX93304: a 2×16 character LCD with four buttons on an old serial port. It cycles through system info and gives the buttons a small menu to start or stop the array, reboot or shut down.

Below the surface

What keeps the pond running.

Everything on this page runs on hardware we own and look after ourselves. The deeper you go, the more interesting it gets.

    Raspberry Pi cluster

    Eight Raspberry Pi 5 boards with NVMe storage, shared over GlusterFS and managed with Komodo. It hosts this site, the Rollendrespect site and a long list of home services.

    10 Gbit backbone

    Servers, storage and workstations talk at ten gigabit. Moving a film, a disk image or a model checkpoint takes seconds instead of a coffee break.

    More than one site

    Our own AI

    We run our own OpenCode services on self-hosted models of around 125 billion parameters. Coding agents that help build projects like these, without our code or data leaving the building.

The crew

Different hobbies, one pond.

HOLLANDPOEL is not one person. It's a small group that shares tools, servers and too many cables. Some of us write code, some of us restore and drive old army vehicles, and most of us own at least one 3D printer.

Open source

Tools we needed ourselves, shared with everyone.

3D printing & laser

From a sketch on Volura to a part on the desk.

Home lab

Pi clusters, 10 Gbit networks and servers at more than one site.

WW2 vehicles

Keeping 80-year-old engines and their stories running.

Cinema nights

Popcorn, a projector and software we wrote for it.
