What is this?

hoshinotama.dev is my personal documentation site for everything I build, break, and learn in my homelab. It’s part portfolio, part knowledge base, and part field notes.

The homelab

The current setup is built around a Lenovo M90Q Gen 3 as the primary node, running Proxmox VE. The goal is to build out a production-like infrastructure environment that mirrors what you’d find in enterprise and cloud-native environments — but at home, on a desk.

📋 Build Status
Component Status
Proxmox single-node done
Active Directory (WS2025) done
Windows 11 client VM done
Ubuntu Docker VM wip
Multi-node Proxmox cluster planned
FreeIPA / Kerberos planned
Kubernetes (kubeadm) planned
Keycloak OIDC planned
ArgoCD + Ingress planned

Why document it?

Writing things down forces clarity. Docs that are good enough to follow cold — weeks later — are good docs. That’s the bar.

It also builds a portfolio that shows actual, working infrastructure knowledge rather than just claimed experience.

Target skills

  • Network engineering — switching, routing, VLANs, firewall policy, Tailscale, MikroTik
  • Platform engineering — Kubernetes, GitOps, observability, IDP patterns
  • Software testing — test infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, environment management

Built with Jekyll and hosted on GitHub Pages.
