# 🧠 Featured System — Ced’s NOC (Network Operations Center)
|
||||
|
||||
A real-time monitoring and observability platform built on top of my homelab infrastructure.
|
||||
|
||||
### 🔍 What it demonstrates:
|
||||
|
||||
* Live system monitoring (services, nodes, edge systems)
|
||||
* Infrastructure visibility across VLANs and clusters
|
||||
* Custom dashboard UI (portfolio + operational view)
|
||||
* Service health tracking (latency, uptime, status)
|
||||
* Real data ingestion (not simulated)
|
||||
|
||||
### ⚙️ Stack:
|
||||
|
||||
* Python (health checks / data generation)
|
||||
* JSON API (status feed)
|
||||
* JavaScript (dynamic UI rendering)
|
||||
* Future: Grafana + Prometheus integration
|
||||
|
||||
👉 This is the **core system** that ties everything together.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
# 🧱 Foundation — Ced’s Home Lab (Infrastructure + Monitoring)
|
||||
|
||||
Real-world environment used to simulate production systems and host services.
|
||||
|
||||
* Proxmox virtualization platform
|
||||
* K3s Kubernetes cluster (Raspberry Pi)
|
||||
* TrueNAS storage system
|
||||
* Nginx Proxy Manager (external access layer)
|
||||
* VLAN segmentation (Main / IoT / HomeLab / Guest)
|
||||
* Monitoring stack (Grafana, Prometheus, Uptime Kuma)
|
||||
|
||||
👉 The NOC dashboard is built directly on top of this environment.

# 📡 Edge System — APRS iGate (RF → Internet Gateway)
|
||||
|
||||
A real-world RF system that feeds live data into infrastructure.
|
||||
|
||||
* Raspberry Pi + Direwolf APRS TNC
|
||||
* Audio chain tuning (critical for decode accuracy)
|
||||
* APRS-IS integration
|
||||
* Real beacon ingestion from handheld radios

## 🔥 Key Insight
|
||||
|
||||
This system bridges:
|
||||
### How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
RF (radio signals) → Digital Infrastructure → Internet (APRS-IS)
|
||||
Proxmox Biggie (Cron every 5min)
|
||||
→ noc_update.py pings 28 systems
|
||||
→ writes data/noc-status.json
|
||||
→ git push to ced-portfolio
|
||||
→ GitHub Pages deploys (~30s)
|
||||
→ Browser fetches every 30s
|
||||
→ Live dashboard updates
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
### Systems Monitored
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Key Tuning Insight
|
||||
- **6-node Proxmox Cluster** — BigWorld, Biggie, Snoop, TooShort, Tupac, DrDre
|
||||
- **12-node K3s Cluster** — 3 control plane (django-1/2/3) + 9 workers (ingress, data, monitoring groups)
|
||||
- **TrueNAS** — Network attached storage
|
||||
- **Nginx Proxy Manager** — Reverse proxy layer
|
||||
- **Prometheus + Grafana + Uptime Kuma** — Full observability stack (Prometheus actively scraping)
|
||||
- **Dashy + Home Assistant + PrimeStation** — Services layer
|
||||
- **APRS iGate x2** — RF edge systems (home + mobile)
|
||||
|
||||
* Target audio level: **~50–60**
|
||||
* Too high → clipping / decode failure
|
||||
* Too low → missed packets
|
||||
### Automation
|
||||
|
||||
This was tuned using:
|
||||
|
||||
* Direwolf audio level output
|
||||
* Real beacon testing from handheld radios
|
||||
- Script: `~/scripts/noc_update.py` running on Biggie (`10.10.30.192`)
|
||||
- Cron: `*/5 * * * *` — every 5 minutes
|
||||
- Log: `/var/log/noc_update.log`
|
||||
- Auth: GitHub Personal Access Token via baked remote URL
