The Challenge
Reliable infrastructure is required to support modern development and AI workloads without relying entirely on cloud providers or exposing sensitive data.
The Solution
I designed a segmented, security-first homelab with VLANs, VPN access, centralized storage, and service orchestration. This environment acts as the stable platform that all internal tools, services, and AI compute systems run on.
Key Features
- VLAN-based Network Segmentation (Lab, IoT, Guest)
- VPN Access via OpenVPN
- Reverse Proxying and Service Routing
- Centralized Storage and Automated Backups
- Monitoring and Health Tracking (Beszel, System Metrics)
Description
A production-grade homelab that provides the foundational networking, storage, monitoring, and orchestration layer for self-hosted services and on-prem AI workloads.
