Homelab

Why To understand not only how to build an application, but what happens after it leaves my computer.

My personal infrastructure lab, where I experiment with Linux, containers, networking, monitoring and remote access. A place to learn hands-on, test tools and build my own solutions.

#Starting point

An old laptop repurposed as a server: low upfront cost, enough hardware for plenty of experiments — and real limits on temperature, storage and power that are part of the learning.

#Fronts

• Key-based SSH access, remote desktop and VPN.
• Monitoring the host itself with Grafana and Prometheus.
• Storage, disk health and verifiable backups.
• Future home automation integrations.
