Why a Home Lab?
A home lab is a personal environment for testing, learning, and running your own IT infrastructure: full control over your data, more privacy, and room to experiment with new technologies without production risk.
Everything documented here runs on hardware sitting in my house, so the notes reflect what actually worked rather than what the vendor documentation says should work.
