Homelab with Proxmox
A self-hosted environment for learning virtualization, server management and containerized services.
Introduction
My Proxmox homelab is a self-hosted environment where I experiment with virtualization, server management, and containerized services. This ongoing project has been a cornerstone in enhancing my technical expertise in system administration, resource allocation and network configuration.
Key Features
- Virtualization with Proxmox: Created and managed virtual machines to simulate production-like environments for testing and learning.
- Dockerized Services: Hosted and maintained several containerized applications, enhancing deployment, monitoring and optimization skills.
- Improved Linux Proficiency: Worked extensively with Linux-based systems to configure, manage and troubleshoot server environments.
- Networking and Resource Management: Configured virtual networks and optimized resource allocation to ensure efficient operation of services.
Future Enhancements
- Implementing Kubernetes for advanced container orchestration within the homelab.
- Exploring automation techniques using tools like Ansible or Terraform.
- Enhancing monitoring with tools such as Prometheus and Grafana.
Conclusion
This project showcases my commitment to continuous learning and hands-on exploration of technologies widely used in professional environments. While the homelab remains a personal project, it has provided a robust foundation in system administration and DevOps practices.
