Homelab update: storage expansion and Proxmox setup

The storage has been expanded to two Gen 4 NVMe SSDs in a mirrored configuration (RAID 1), providing redundancy and improved read throughput under concurrent access.

The Proxmox VE setup is likewise complete. Proxmox VE is an open-source virtualization platform combining KVM for virtual machines with LXC for containers, administered through a web interface and a CLI.

What the configuration allows

  • Isolate and allocate resources per service
  • Snapshot and back up whole environments
  • Deploy and test complex setups in isolation

The configuration provides a basis for more projects while reducing operational risk: snapshots and isolated workloads simplify both experimentation and recovery.
