Projects

Everything here runs on hardware I own, on a network I built. Numbers are what the systems actually do, not estimates.

Circuit Breaker

A self-hosted control plane for a homelab or small datacenter: it discovers what you run, draws it as a live topology, polls it for health, and keeps a tamper-evident record of every change. Three deployable units in one monorepo -- a FastAPI backend, a React SPA and a Go edge agent -- shipped as a single container or installed natively under systemd.

8probe sources feeding discovery

An open server rack lit by red LED strips, holding two compact mini-PC nodes and a red 1U appliance with patch cables, above empty shelves.

Proxmox Home Lab & Observability Stack

A four-node Proxmox cluster carrying the security, monitoring, reverse-proxy and encrypted mesh workloads this site's writing comes out of. Reverse proxies, automated SSL certificate renewal, dynamic DNS and encrypted cloud connectivity.

40self-hosted workloads across 4 nodes

Router-on-a-stick network diagram: the internet reaches an ISP gateway, then a bare-metal OPNsense firewall whose single trunk interface carries tagged VLANs to a managed layer 2/3 switch, which feeds four Proxmox nodes joined in a Corosync and Ceph high-availability cluster ring on an isolated VLAN 10.

OPNsense Router-on-a-Stick Lab

A virtualized OPNsense router in Proxmox on PCI-passthrough NICs, with managed VLAN switching, encrypted WAN interfaces, internal firewalls and inter-VLAN routing -- enterprise perimeter defence, simulated end to end.
