WELCOME TO MY CORNER OF THE INTERNET

HEY,
I'M BRYAN

bryan.za.net

Welcome to my homelab and personal slice of the internet. I tinker with servers, self-host everything I can, and break things in the name of learning. This is the digital outpost — running 24/7 from my rack.

SELF-HOSTED.
SELF-TAUGHT.

This domain is home base. I run my own infrastructure, manage my own services, and keep ownership of my data. Everything here lives on hardware I can physically touch.

Whether it's containerized services, home automation, network monitoring, or just weird experiments at 2am — this is where it all comes together.

Feel free to poke around. If something's broken, I'm probably already fixing it.

WHAT'S RUNNING

⬡

CONTAINERS

Docker & Compose stacks for every service. Clean, portable, version-controlled.

⟁

NETWORKING

VLANs, reverse proxies, DNS, and a healthy paranoia about open ports.

◈

MONITORING

Metrics, dashboards, and alerts so I know before things go sideways.

⊕

STORAGE

Redundant drives, regular backups. Because losing data is a rite of passage I've already done once.

⌬

AUTOMATION

Scripts and pipelines that handle the boring bits so I can focus on the interesting ones.

⊗

SECURITY

Firewalls, fail2ban, VPNs, and the constant feeling I could always do more.
