Self-hosted infrastructure and virtualization lab
I built and maintain a public VPS environment with Docker services behind Caddy/TLS, off-site backups and restore testing. My lab also includes n8n workflows and virtualization practice.
Independent learning, outside employment
Built and maintain a personal environment
A maintained personal environment with off-site backups and restore testing.
01 / Context
A VPS I built and maintain
Outside employment, I built a public VPS from scratch. I run Docker services behind Caddy with TLS, use UFW and Fail2ban, and monitor availability with Uptime Kuma.
02 / Practice
Backups, restores and automation
I keep off-site backups and test restores. I also build personal n8n workflows for scheduled tasks, API/webhook integrations and notifications, and experiment with self-hosted LLMs and AI agents.
03 / Learning
Virtualization and independent learning
I use Proxmox VE and VMware in lab work to practice virtualization. These are personal learning projects, separate from my employer’s production systems.
