Overview
My homelab is a custom-built Ubuntu Linux server used as a general-purpose platform for hosting services and experimenting with infrastructure.

Server Infrastructure
The system has been used to host this portfolio website as well as Minecraft servers for approximately 10 clients. Docker provides isolated, repeatable environments for services.
Networking & Security
I developed a VPN-based setup for isolating selected services from the open internet. This project has been an ongoing opportunity to learn about networking, Linux administration, and practical security.
Why a Homelab?
A homelab turns infrastructure concepts into hands-on problems. Instead of simply learning what containers, VPNs, and servers do, I have had to deploy, maintain, troubleshoot, and secure them.
What I Learned
The project has developed my Linux, Bash, Docker, networking, troubleshooting, and self-hosting skills.
