Things I’m currently working on

Currently prepping for my ITIL 4 Foundations Exam.
This website! Due to a network restriction in my home lab I can’t host this internally.
Well, turns out I could have used a Cloudflare Tunnel to get around this. Either way, I’ve got a site hosted by Hostinger, if you’d like to check them out, feel free to use my referral link if you like.

The Home Lab

As part of my interest in technology, I’ve built a bit of a lab at home to delve a little deeper into some topics. This is of course subject to change, but the current build is:

  • Proxmox (housing all of the VMs used)
  • Ubuntu 22.04 Server
    • Plex Media Server
    • Nginx
    • Webmin
    • Certbot
    • Cloudron
    • Apache Guacamole
  • Twingate Connectors (x2)
  • 3CX VoIP Server (currently turned off but activated when testing)
  • Rocky Linux Server (for Redhat testing)
  • Debian 10
  • Ubiquiti Unifi UDM
    • NextDNS managed DNS
    • Multiple networks with VLAN isolation (can’t trust those IOT devices too far)
    • Geoblocking based on incoming event triggers
  • Uptime Kuma
    • Monitors internal and external devices from a cloud environment
    • Linked to the home lab via Twingate

Past projects in the home lab have been:

  • Dnsmasq DNS Server
  • VSCode Server
  • Sendmail
