Remote Access
SSH Tunneling
Configure SSH Tunnel (Port Forwarding) on macOS, Linux and Windows using OpenSSH. In this example, I will show how to tunnel an RDP connection traffic over OpenSSH.
Basics
Basic stuff and where to start Building.

filebrowser — Linux
Sometimes it's nice to play with a filbrowser on a NAS. One nice small project is - filbrowser. I have a post about using it with docker, but this is how to set filebrowser up on Alpine/Ubuntu/Debian VM/CT
Build
filebrowser - a Web Interface
Running a NAS in a Proxmox VM might need a web based File Browser. The filebrowser is the easiest and smallest to use. The filebrowser run on docker. Linux, macOS, and Windows are also supported. #filebrowser #docker #proxmox
Build
Alpine — Add a Web Server
How to add a Web Server to a regular Linux virtual machine. A minimal Alpine VM is a good base for services like Nginx as a web server. Alpine ensures minimal VM overhead.
Basics
What's on my Network
Do you know who's on your network? Set up a Network Intrusion Monitor and you know. Used Pi.Alert but found an alternative, WatchYourLAN with Telegram or something.
Build
Terminal Tools
Most of my work is performed in a terminal window or a TUI, except for rare instances where I utilize a GUI. That is precisely the reason why I strive to acquire the finest tools available, analogous to a carpenter who seeks the finest chisels available. Boost your productivity. #neowim #lazyvim
Basics
Monitoring
Proxmox monitoring using #influxdb and #grafana running in a LXC container. Monitoring is a key part of the security and hardening process.
Basics
Proxmox Users Setup
To secure the Proxmox node or cluster we need to set some user things on the OS level (Debian) and some more then in Proxmox. Having servers in a Data Center also needs some more security measures to be in place. Servers are key targets for hackers, gain access to thousands accounts in one go.
Build
Proxmox Notifications
Proxmox Notifications uses Gotify. Gotify can run on many platforms, we use Docker and iPhone. Quick notifications are essential when things goes sideways and servers crash but also when a backup fails. #gotify #igotify #proxmox
Build
Ultra Lightweight NAS
Storage servers are needed every where and usually several. Usually there is absolutely no need for any GUI or other stuff bloating the server. The best is a plain NFS Server - it's fast and romust.
Basics
Git - the Default Version Control
Git is one of the fundamental tool any homelabber needs. Git repositories can be on site, but better off site on GitLab or GitHub. Some stuff needs to be on local servers and can easily by self hosted or just local. #git
Networking
Setup SDN in Proxmox
SDN The Software-Defined Network enables the creation of virtual zones and networks (VNets) including a DHCP. This functionality simplifies advanced network configurations for home labbing. The benefits in a more responsive and adaptable network infra. #pve #sdn
