About This Blog
This is where I document my homelab journey — from initial hardware decisions to the inevitable 3am debugging sessions when something breaks.
Topics covered here include:
- Home networking — VLANs, firewall rules, DNS, and everything in between
- Self-hosting — Running your own services instead of relying on third parties
- Hardware — Servers, switches, access points, and NAS builds
- Automation — Ansible, Terraform, and scripting the mundane away
- Monitoring — Knowing what your network is doing at all times
