Cloudlab / Homelab

A private Linux environment for hosting, networking, storage, and experiments.

I run my website, private Git server, private cloud storage, and several one-off services on a personal homelab. Private services sit behind a WireGuard VPN.

I prefer Debian for server workloads because it stays simple and predictable. The lab gives me a place to deploy services I actually use while learning the operational side of Linux, networking, and self-hosting.
