summary

A self-hosted lab for passwords, dashboards, storage, monitoring, and automation. It runs on a single physical server with VMs and containers split across clean network zones so services can grow without collapsing into one flat box.

highlights
  • 01 Network is segmented into management, application, monitoring, and automation zones behind the firewall.
  • 02 Core services already cover password management, service dashboards, storage, monitoring, and recurring jobs.
  • 03 Caddy handles internal routing while Restic snapshots back up state to object storage.
  • 04 Still expanding toward dedicated NAS storage, Jellyfin, Grafana visibility, and subnet-routed remote access.
