Ever since I&rsquo;ve started University (and a little while before that) I&rsquo;ve been exploring networking, server administration and security.</p> <p>I first started exploring servers in 2022 on a Dell R420, <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/t9pa13/dell_poweredge_fan_control_with_ipmitool/" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">probably the loudest computer to have in your living room</a>. It did however allow me to explore UNIX through the BSD based <a href="https://www.truenas.com/" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TrueNAS</a> and virtualised deployments. From there, I eventually built my own server, on which I installed <a href="https://www.proxmox.com/en/" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Proxmox</a>. This led me to dive deeper into ZFS, basic networking principles such as firewalls and containerisation through docker.</p>
