Servers, networking & homelab

Not every company needs the cloud. Often a few thousand euros in well-chosen hardware and a weekend of configuration give you a server that will handle files, backups, virtual machines and internal apps for years – at a fraction of the monthly bill. I help you design it, buy it and get it running. And if you are building a homelab for yourself – happy to help too.

Get in touch

What you get

Hardware selection and assembly

A server spec matched to your needs and budget: CPU, RAM, drives (NVMe, HDD, ZFS), NICs, UPS, case or rack. New or sensible off-lease gear.

Proxmox VE

Hypervisor installation and configuration: virtual machines, LXC containers, ZFS, snapshots, replication, Proxmox Backup Server, clustering and HA where it makes sense.

NAS and backups

TrueNAS or ZFS on Proxmox, SMB/NFS shares, permissions, versioning, 3-2-1 backups (local + remote + offline). Restore is tested, not just “backups are running”.

Networking and remote access

VLANs, firewall (OPNsense / MikroTik), WireGuard VPN, reverse proxy with TLS (Traefik / Nginx), external access without exposing everything to the internet.

Self-hosted services

Nextcloud, GitLab, Vaultwarden, Home Assistant, Docker / Kubernetes, monitoring (Grafana, Uptime Kuma, Wazuh) – we pick what actually makes life easier.

Documentation and handover

Network diagram, credentials in a password manager, procedures (updates, restore from backup). You know what you have and how to run it.

Technologies

How we work together

  1. 01

    Needs conversation

    What the server should do, how much data, how many users, what budget, what availability you need. Without this there is no sensible hardware choice.

  2. 02

    Design and shopping list

    A concrete spec with prices and reasoning, network diagram, service plan. You buy it yourself or I order on your behalf.

  3. 03

    Assembly and configuration

    Build, Proxmox installation, networking, backups, services. On-site (Poznań area) or remotely after first boot.

  4. 04

    Training and care

    A short walkthrough for whoever will administer it, plus documentation. Optional ongoing care and updates.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to keep company data on our own server?

Yes – with 3-2-1 backups, updates, encryption and external access only over VPN. Those are exactly the things I configure by default.

Do you come on-site?

Yes, in Poznań and the surrounding region. Further away – remotely, once someone on-site connects the hardware to power and network.

Homelabs too? Isn’t that too small a project?

No. Homelabs are my hobby and where I learned Proxmox and Kubernetes. Happy to help design one, sort out the networking, or bring order to what you already have.

Have a project or an infrastructure problem?

Write a few sentences about what you want to achieve. I usually reply within 24 hours and tell you straight away whether and how I can help.
