I'm an IT Systems Administrator / Service Desk Team Lead L2 in Torino, Italy. During the day I manage endpoints and infrastructure for a large public-sector IT provider. At night I run PolarisCore, a home lab built with the same standards I use at work: VLAN segmentation, a real reverse proxy, internal DNS, ZFS storage with redundancy, and monitoring — not just a pile of Docker containers on a single box.
Here's the actual current state of it, pulled live via SSH, not marketing copy.
The compute layer — Proxmox
One node left after a migration earlier this year moved the old primary host over to dedicated NAS duty (more on that below).
pve-manager/9.2.3 (kernel 7.0.12-1-pve)
