Homelab

The homelab runs on a Kubernetes cluster, chosen to treat every service — monitoring, automation, media, DNS, secrets — as a workload managed the same way, instead of a pile of one-off installs.

Prometheus and Grafana handle observability across the cluster and the rest of the home infrastructure. Home Assistant ties into an MQTT broker for device and sensor integration, Pi-hole handles DNS-level ad blocking for the network, and Plex serves media. A self-hosted password manager rounds it out, keeping credentials off third-party services.

It's the base layer everything else in the homelab — Cyberdeck included — eventually plugs into.
