Homelab Portfolio Project · Virtualization & Infrastructure
A repurposed ThinkPad running Proxmox VE 9.2.2, hosting a growing set of virtual machines for hands-on infrastructure practice, Linux administration, Windows Server, containerized apps, and network security labs.
Built to evolve.
Documented as it grows.
This homelab exists to practice the same skills used in client and employer environments, virtualization, Active Directory, VPN infrastructure, container orchestration, and network segmentation, without needing production access to do it.
Every VM here solves a real problem or replicates a real-world admin task.
Bare-metal, headless, always on. The hardware is modest by design; the learning environment is not.
Remote access infrastructure
A self-hosted VPN built after Tailscale failed under a public-WiFi VPN conflict. Covers the diagnosis, split-tunnel routing fix, and Cloudflare DDNS automation.

Active Directory, DNS, GPO management, and Microsoft 365 hybrid practice.
Containers infrastructure
A dedicated Docker host managed with Portainer, running Compose stacks behind Nginx Proxy Manager and a Cloudflare Tunnel.
Read the writeup ↗Network security
Dedicated firewall and network segmentation lab.

This page frames the homelab as a practical infrastructure portfolio: one host, multiple service areas, and focused writeups that show how each system is designed, configured, and secured.
