+
+Welcome to my homelab — a space where I explore new technologies, break things on purpose, and learn by doing. What started as a few old machines has grown into a modest but powerful setup that I use for self-hosting, automation, testing infrastructure tools, and running personal projects.
+
+## 1. Hardware
+
+I currently run a 3-node cluster built with energy-efficient mini PCs and repurposed desktops. Here's a breakdown:
+
+- **Node 1**: AMD Ryzen 4C/4T, 16GB RAM  
+- **Node 2**: AMD Ryzen 6C/6T, 16GB RAM  
+- **Node 3**: AMD Ryzen 8C/16T, 64GB RAM  
+- **Storage**: Ceph-based distributed storage across all nodes  
+- **Network**: 1Gbps LAN with 2.5Gbps NICs for Ceph replication traffic  
+- **Rack**: Compact 10" rack with managed switch and PDU
+
+## 2. Software
+
+- **Proxmox VE**: Used for virtualization and clustering  
+- **Ceph**: Distributed storage for VM disks  
+- **Kubernetes (K3s)**: For orchestrating containerized apps  
+- **Gitea**: Self-hosted Git with CI/CD via Gitea Actions  
+- **OPNsense**: Firewall, VLANs, and DNS (with AdGuard + Unbound)  
+- **Monitoring**: Grafana, Prometheus, Node Exporter
+
+## 3. Projects
+
+Some of the ongoing and past projects I've worked on:
+
+- CI/CD automation using Gitea Actions  
+- GitOps pipeline for Kubernetes using ArgoCD  
+- Hugo-based personal blog hosted with Docker  
+- Home automation with Zigbee2MQTT and Home Assistant  
+- VPN and remote access via WireGuard  
+- Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Ansible
