Proxmox
Virtualization platform used to organize and run self-hosted services and lab systems.
Infrastructure Map
A sanitized overview of my active self-hosting environment.
My homelab is actively evolving into a self-hosted project environment for portfolio infrastructure, AI workflow tools, small web apps, and monitoring/security experiments. Recent work includes organizing multiple Docker-hosted projects, improving remote access with Tailscale, and using Cloudflare Tunnel concepts for safer public exposure where appropriate. I am also using it to learn practical storage and backup work: TrueNAS, SMB/NFS, Time Machine and Windows backup planning, ZFS snapshots, and monitoring.

This diagram is intentionally sanitized and does not include public IPs, private IPs, hostnames, internal URLs, tokens, or sensitive service details.
Monitoring and Alerting Philosophy
I want services to be understandable, not mysterious. Monitoring should answer three questions quickly: what is down, what changed, and what needs action. Alerts should be useful enough to respond to, quiet enough to trust, and documented enough to learn from.
Core Components
Infrastructure Areas
NAS / Storage
Storage and backup planning for media, project files, and infrastructure experiments.
Uptime Kuma
Service monitoring and uptime visibility for self-hosted applications and infrastructure.
Homepage / Actual Budget
Self-hosted dashboard and budgeting services used to practice organizing internal tools without making private services public.
AdGuard
DNS filtering and network-level visibility for safer and cleaner browsing.
UniFi OS Server
Network management and visibility experiments for learning device organization and network planning.
Device Inventory Lab
Planned public-safe work for tracking known devices, network changes, and sanitized network health summaries.
Wazuh
Security monitoring and endpoint visibility for learning alerting and log review.
CrowdSec
Security tool used to learn behavior-based detection and community-driven threat intelligence concepts.
Tailscale
Remote access layer for securely reaching internal services without broadly exposing them.
Docker Project Hosting
Active environment for organizing multiple self-hosted projects, internal apps, AI workflow experiments, and small web projects.
Cloudflare Tunnel Concepts
Public exposure planning for selected services while keeping private services, internal routes, and sensitive details out of public content.
Storage and Backups
TrueNAS, SMB/NFS, Time Machine and Windows backup planning, ZFS snapshots, and backup monitoring are current or planned learning areas.
Network Capacity
5 Gbps AT&T Fiber and higher-speed LAN experimentation give me room to practice real networking, monitoring, and service planning.
