Introduction
Last updated on: 9/18/2025
I have been tinkering with my homelab since 2017 when over that summer I built a new computer. Suddenly I had a second perfectly working computer that I didn’t know what to do with. Check out my Homelab Evolution to see the work work that I have done over the years to get to where I am.
My Goal with this project is to continuously learn by exploring and creating my own testing/working environments. As well as to experiment with new applications and projects that I find interesting. This helps me stay current and up to date with what is going on in the world of computers and technology at large.
Infrastructure Overview
This page discusses the hardware (servers, storage, networking gear, virtualization hosts), Virtualization (VMware, Proxmox, Hyper-V, Docker, Kubernetes), Storage (RAID/ZFS, NAS, backup strategy), and Networking (firewalls, VLANs, NAT, VPN, reverse proxy).
Core Services
Over the past 9 years I have grown very reliant on some of the services that I have deployed and created. Check out this page to see some of the services that I host and how they help me be productive and stay secure.
Automation & Scripting
Many of my personal projects involve scripting and automating things that are tedious and would otherwise take forever. Check out this page for descriptions and documentation on all the things I automate.
Projects & Experiments
As it says on the main page of the site. I am always working on something. Sometimes its a simple python scrip. Sometimes its a large ambitus multi month project that takes lots of time and resources. Check out this page for my thoughts on the things that I am working on or plan to work on at some point.
Challenges & Lessons Learned
I have been tinkering with my server since 2017. In that time I have learned a lot of lessons the hard way. From not backing up data properly, to not testing before committing changes. This page acts as a repo for some of the weirdest and funniest issues that I have encountered.
