# 🧠 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
|
||
|
||
🔗 **Project:**
|
||
https://github.com/ced4568/ceds-aprs-igate
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 🔥 Key Insight
|
||
|
||
This system bridges:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
RF (radio signals) → Digital Infrastructure → Internet (APRS-IS)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 🎯 Key Tuning Insight
|
||
|
||
* Target audio level: **~50–60**
|
||
* Too high → clipping / decode failure
|
||
* Too low → missed packets
|
||
|
||
This was tuned using:
|
||
|
||
* Direwolf audio level output
|
||
* Real beacon testing from handheld radios
