Homelab

Infrastructure

Virtualization, storage, networking, and the services tying it together.

Unbound Options

OPNsense

OPNsense as my primary firewall — Suricata IDS/IPS, Unbound DNS, VLANs, and lessons learned from years of configuration.

Proxmox Web Interface

Proxmox Virtual Environment

My experience with Proxmox VE — from VirtualBox migration to CEPH clusters and back to a simpler multi-node setup.

IPAM Note

Home Lab Redesign pt. 2

Network layout, IP address management tools, and the journey from sticky notes to phpIPAM to Netbox.

Home Lab

How my homelab grew from a TrueNAS install on an old HP desktop to a multi-node Proxmox cluster with backup infrastructure.
