Developed and managed a comprehensive homelab environment to enhance my IT, DevOps, IoT, and cloud skills. Key components and services include:

  • Cloud Platform:

    • OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure): Utilized the Forever Free Cloud tier for hosting and testing various cloud services and applications.

  • SD-WAN:

    • ZeroTier: Implemented software-defined networking for secure, flexible, and easy-to-manage networking across different locations.

  • Network Monitoring Systems (NMS):

    • Observium, Zabbix, Uptime-Kuma: Deployed for comprehensive network monitoring, with alerting capabilities using Uptime-Kuma.

  • Virtualization:

    • Proxmox: Managed virtual machines and containers for efficient resource utilization and system isolation.

  • VM Backup:

    • Veeam: Utilized free solutions for reliable VM backup and recovery processes.

  • Reverse Proxy/CDN/SSL:

    • Cloudflare: Leveraged Cloudflare for reverse proxy services, content delivery network (CDN), and SSL management to secure web traffic.

  • Firewall:

    • Fortigate, OPNSense, pfSense: Implemented these firewalls for robust network security and traffic management.

  • Containerization:

    • Docker: Used Docker for containerizing applications to ensure consistency across development, testing, and production environments.
    • Kubernetes (K8s, K3s): Managed container orchestration with Kubernetes for scaling and maintaining containerized applications.

  • Private Git Repository:

    • GitLab: Set up a private Git repository to manage code and CI/CD pipelines.

  • Configuration Management:

    • Ansible: Automated configuration management and deployment across multiple servers and environments.

  • Cloud Monitoring (Agent Based):

    • Uptime Kuma, Datadog: Monitored cloud resources and services, with Datadog providing limited free-tier services.

  • Free DNS Server and Ad Blocking:

    • Pi-Hole: Implemented network-wide ad blocking and DNS filtering.

  • Network Scanning and Reporting:

    • Custom Script: Developed a script (nw-scan-report-webhook.sh) to scan the local network and send reports using webhooks for real-time updates.

This homelab project has provided me with extensive hands-on experience in managing and automating IT infrastructure, cloud services, IoT devices, and network security, enabling me to design and maintain complex IT environments effectively.
