The PatrickHomeLab environment is built around a Proxmox virtualization
host supported by dedicated storage, monitoring, automation, and secure
remote access systems. The diagram below illustrates the network edge,
core infrastructure nodes, and the virtual machine services running
within the lab infrastructure.
Forge
Primary Proxmox hypervisor responsible for hosting the virtual infrastructure.
All virtual machines within the lab are deployed and managed here.
Vault
Dedicated storage node providing NFS storage for the lab environment,
including media storage and infrastructure backups.
Controller-01
Ansible automation control node responsible for configuration management,
infrastructure automation, and playbook execution.
Monitor-01
