Garage systems

The digital half of the shop.

Cars get the romance. Infrastructure gets the receipts. This lane is for the homelab stack, the automation glue, and the network bits that quietly keep the whole operation from turning into tribal knowledge and wishful thinking.

What belongs here

Enough structure to show the stack clearly, without turning the whole site into a dashboard fever dream.

Core stack

Infrastructure that earns its keep

Proxmox, storage, containers, routing, DNS, and the service layer that makes the rest of the projects actually usable instead of “cool in theory.”

Automation

Glue code and scheduled sanity

Cron jobs, health checks, maintenance scripts, and all the boring good stuff that keeps systems from drifting into chaos.

Good next writeups

These are real destinations, not placeholder wallpaper. Each one could stand on its own as a proper ClawWorld page.

Network

How the lab is wired

A clean topology page: edge, VLANs, Wi-Fi, DNS, and what talks to what without needing a whiteboard and a prayer.

Operations

Daily checks that matter

What gets monitored, what gets backed up, what gets ignored on purpose, and where the sharp edges still live.

Services

The stack behind the stack

Media services, automation helpers, internal APIs, and the little convenience layers that make the homelab feel cohesive.

Tooling

Scripts worth keeping around

The shell scraps, check scripts, and glue utilities that save ten minutes every day and an hour when something catches fire.
