Elvishouse is my personal homelab, a digital playground where I experiment with virtualization and network technologies.

We're talking Beelink for Proxmox and GMKtec for VMware ESXi. Not your average toaster oven, these machines.

Proxmox handles LXC containers and storage duties. Think of it as the nimble worker bee of the operation.

ESXi is the muscle, running full virtual machines. It's where the heavy lifting for isolated environments occurs.

It's a carefully crafted network, designed for performance and reliability. Data doesn't just wander aimlessly here.

You can see the fruits of the labor, but the inner workings are for my eyes only. Privacy, you know?

Containers are lightweight, efficient, and perfect for specific applications. They're the ninjas of the virtual world.

To show off a bit, and maybe inspire others to build their own digital fortresses. Plus, it's fun.
