Homelab

A browser-sized desktop about my homelab. Everything on it is curated and simulated. Nothing here is live.

Lab Dashboard

All readouts are simulated. The lab is real; these numbers are theater.

  • Backups nightly verified weekly, restored quarterly
  • Uptime 247 days, 3 power cuts survived the counter resets, the lab does not

About

I build and run a small homelab: virtualization, containers, storage, monitoring, and the network that holds it together. This desktop is the tour.
