# 🧠 Ced’s HomeLab (Enterprise Infrastructure & Monitoring Lab)
|
||||
|
||||
Ced's HomeLab is my personal mini–datacenter: a segmented, cloud-connected environment built for learning, experimentation, and portfolio work. It includes:
|
||||
> A production-style infrastructure lab showcasing real-world systems engineering, monitoring, and platform operations.
|
||||
|
||||
- Proxmox virtualization
|
||||
- TrueNAS ZFS storage
|
||||
- A 12-node Raspberry Pi K3s cluster
|
||||
- Nginx Proxy Manager + Cloudflare Tunnel
|
||||
- Home Assistant + IoT integration
|
||||
- Media stack (Arr suite + Jellyfin)
|
||||
- Observability (Grafana, Prometheus, Uptime Kuma)
|
||||
This environment functions as a **personal datacenter**, combining virtualization, Kubernetes orchestration, observability, and secure external access.
|
||||
|
||||
This repo is the **documentation and configuration hub** for the entire environment.

|
||||
|
||||
### ☸️ Orchestration Layer
|
||||
- 12-node K3s Kubernetes cluster
|
||||
- Workload segmentation (ingress, data, monitoring)
|
||||
- MetalLB + NGINX ingress
|
||||
|
||||
### 🌐 Access & Networking Layer
|
||||
- VLAN segmented network (UDR)
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
This lab is designed to:
|
||||
|
||||
- Simulate production-style environments
|
||||
- Build hands-on infrastructure experience
|
||||
- Develop monitoring and system visibility skills
|
||||

## 5. Notes
|
||||
## 🧠 Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Cloudflare Zero Trust can be layered in front of any critical service.
|
||||
- External entrypoint is always `*.cedshomelab.com`.
|
||||
- Only outbound traffic from the HomeLab VLAN is required.
|
||||
- 🌐 All external access is routed through Cloudflare Tunnel
|
||||
- 🚫 No inbound port forwarding is required
|
||||
- 🔗 Services are exposed via subdomains under `cedshomelab.com`
|
||||
- 🧩 VLAN segmentation reduces unnecessary lateral movement
|
||||
- 🔐 Cloudflare Zero Trust can be layered on sensitive services

# 🧠 SOC Lab – Monitoring, Logging & Security Simulation
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Overview
|
||||
|
||||
This SOC Lab is a focused project within my homelab environment designed to simulate real-world monitoring, logging, and basic security detection workflows.
|
||||
|
||||
The goal is to replicate how modern infrastructure teams observe system behavior, detect anomalies, and maintain service reliability.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🖥️ Infrastructure Backbone
|
||||
|
||||
* Proxmox VE (virtualization platform)
|
||||
* Virtual Machines and LXC containers
|
||||
* Segmented network environment (VLANs)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ☸️ Kubernetes Environment
|
||||
|
||||
* 12-node K3s cluster (Raspberry Pi)
|
||||
* Control plane + worker node architecture
|
||||
* Workload segmentation:
|
||||
|
||||
* ingress
|
||||
* data
|
||||
* monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
kubectl get nodes -o wide
|
||||
kubectl get pods -A
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🌐 Traffic & Service Routing
|
||||
|
||||
* Nginx Proxy Manager (reverse proxy)
|
||||
* Cloudflare Tunnel (secure external access)
|
||||
* Subdomain-based service exposure
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 📊 Monitoring & Observability
|
||||
|
||||
* Prometheus (metrics collection)
|
||||
* Grafana (dashboard visualization)
|
||||
* Uptime Kuma (service monitoring)
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Capabilities:
|
||||
|
||||
* System performance tracking
|
||||
* Service uptime monitoring
|
||||
* Infrastructure visibility
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔐 Security Layer (In Progress)
|
||||
|
||||
* CrowdSec (intrusion detection & prevention)
|
||||
* Basic firewall and access control concepts
|
||||
* Monitoring suspicious traffic patterns
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 📜 Logging Pipeline (Planned)
|
||||
|
||||
* Grafana Loki (log aggregation)
|
||||
* Centralized log visibility
|
||||
* Correlation between logs and system activity
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ⚔️ Attack Simulation (Planned)
|
||||
|
||||
To validate monitoring and logging systems, the following simulations are planned:
|
||||
|
||||
* Network scanning (nmap)
|
||||
* Failed authentication attempts
|
||||
* Traffic pattern analysis
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
nmap -A <target-ip>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🧪 Skills Demonstrated
|
||||
|
||||
* Infrastructure design and deployment
|
||||
* Kubernetes cluster management
|
||||
* Monitoring and observability implementation
|
||||
* Reverse proxy and traffic routing
|
||||
* System-level thinking and troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Future Enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
* Full logging pipeline (Loki integration)
|
||||
* Alerting (Grafana alerts)
|
||||
* Security event tracking
|
||||
* Automated deployments (CI/CD)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 💡 Key Takeaway
|
||||
|
||||
This lab demonstrates the ability to design, build, and operate a distributed system with monitoring and observability, reflecting real-world infrastructure and platform engineering practices.
