Manage Hosts →
Build and deployment pipelines for Linux infrastructure. Runs automated jobs alongside GitLab CI to test, package, and roll out changes across homelab environments.
Launch Jenkins →Web-based interface to monitor and manage system performance and services across Kubernetes nodes. Supports real-time resource tracking for k3s workloads running on RHEL servers.
Live Console →TrueNAS with ZFS for high-performance, fault-tolerant storage. SMB/NFS shares, iSCSI targets, periodic snapshots, and remote replication integrated with AD for centralized access control.
Access Storage →Centralized orchestration of playbooks, inventory management, and job scheduling. Automates Linux patching, application deployment, and infrastructure provisioning across multiple environments.
Launch Tower →Host-based intrusion detection across the homelab. Wazuh agents handle file integrity monitoring, vulnerability detection, and security alerting, with events forwarded to Splunk for correlation.
Launch Wazuh →Enterprise lifecycle and patch management for RHEL systems. Manages content views, activation keys, errata, and automated STIG compliance reporting across all Linux hosts in the homelab.
Manage Hosts →Every console above runs on hardware in my own rack. Some require credentials or a VPN session — happy to walk through any of them live in an interview.
