Welcome to Steve's Homelab

This website documents a real Proxmox-based self-hosting project: its architecture, hardware, storage, containers, and configuration patterns. It is written for readers who want to understand what each component does, how it connects, and how to reproduce a similar setup.

Publication note: The inventory reflects recorded configuration snapshots, not a live audit. IPs and hardware identifiers are illustrative for learning; verify your own environment before running commands.

Read in order

1. Architecture — understand the moving parts.
2. Hardware — review the physical setup.
3. LXC containers — learn how services are isolated.
4. YAML basics — read configuration files.
5. Docker Compose — run an example.
6. Security — publish without leaking secrets.

This public site intentionally does not expose Proxmox, NAS, private DNS, management consoles, VPN keys, or real configuration secrets.
