Homelab

Homelabbing is my serious hobby and a testbed for real‑world architectures. I run a multi‑node Proxmox cluster, several Docker hosts with dozens of multimedia and productivity services, and a self‑hosted Git service. The goal is full‑stack automation — provisioning, updates, backups, observability, and documentation — so experiments are repeatable and safe.
