Homelab Infrastructure
Enterprise-grade homelab with Proxmox virtualization, VLAN segmentation, monitoring, and automated backup systems.
Overview
Production-quality homelab environment serving as a learning platform and hosting environment for personal projects, mirroring enterprise infrastructure practices.
Challenge
Creating reliable, secure homelab infrastructure that mirrors enterprise practices without enterprise budgets.
Approach
Network segmentation, centralized monitoring, infrastructure-as-code, and automated backup strategies.
Architecture
Proxmox VE cluster, pfSense firewall with VLAN segmentation, Docker for services, Prometheus/Grafana monitoring, automated offsite backups.
Implementation
Configured VLANs for IoT, servers, and management. Deployed monitoring agents. Automated certificate management. Disaster recovery procedures.
Results
99.9% uptime for hosted services with full network visibility and automated recovery.
Architecture Visuals

Lessons Learned
- Network segmentation is the foundation of homelab security
- Monitoring should be deployed before services, not after
