HomeLab

Self-hosted infrastructure built on Proxmox VE and Linux.

Active

Running my personal infrastructure for learning, automation and everyday services while keeping full control over data and privacy.

A complete self-hosted ecosystem running on Proxmox VE with 17+ LXC containers, 25+ services, and automated weekly backups. Everything accessible via local DNS through 25+ custom *.home.arpa domains.

The environment is designed for hands-on learning, real-world infrastructure management, and day-to-day personal use — from media streaming and photo management to document archival and system monitoring.
