Self-hosted homelab tooling: Proxmox and Ceph operations, network diagnostics, monitoring, ticketing and Matrix infrastructure.
Ohio, USA
Lotus Guild
Tooling I built to run my own homelab: a six-node Proxmox/Ceph cluster on a UniFi network, with SSO, monitoring, ticketing and a self-hosted Matrix stack. Most of it is specific to my setup, so each repo leads with screenshots, demo GIFs and a one-line "Quick run" command to show what it does.
Wiki: wiki.lotusguild.org has architecture write-ups, including the infrastructure overview.

About
Everything is deployed with GitOps-style signed webhooks, and monitored through the same tools shown above. Repos are MIT licensed unless they are forks, which keep their upstream licenses.
