phoenyxlab
my homelab and self-hosting platform.
what began as a small collection of self-hosted services has evolved into a kubernetes cluster where I experiment with infrastructure, automation, GitOps workflows and cloud-native tech.
the cluster serves two purposes:
- hosting services that I use daily
- providing a safe environment to learn and test new tech
goals
primary goals include:
- infrastructure as code
- reproducible deployments
- self-hosting essential services
- learning modern devops practices
- exploring kubernetes
tech
some of the tech currently used:
- kubernetes (k3s)
- fluxCD
- cloudflare r2 buckets
- docker
- github actions
what i’ve learned
- kubernetes administration
- GitOps workflows
- containerized applications
- DNS and networking
- TLS certificate management
- service monitoring and observability
- troubleshooting distributed systems
current status
phoenyxlab is an ongoing project that continuously evolves as I learn new technologies and refine existing workflows. new services, automation, and infrastructure improvements are added regularly as the platform grows.
