Self-hosted Homelab
A single Proxmox host — 8 cores, 64 GB — that I run like production. Around 20 VMs and LXC containers stay up around the clock; five or six are reachable from outside on demand through a Cloudflare Tunnel, so there are no open ports and nothing permanently public. One of them runs Frigate for real-time AI object detection on my camera feeds. It's where I test the patterns I later trust at work: IaC, segmented networking, backups, monitoring.
