Proxmox Platform

The core virtualisation platform underpinning the entire homelab and media environment — every other self-hosted project runs on top of this.

ProxmoxLXCVirtualisationSnapshotsAPI access

Purpose

Proxmox is the hypervisor layer that hosts everything else documented in this portfolio: identity (Authentik), reverse proxying (Nginx Proxy Manager), the AI gateway (OpenClaw), and the full media automation stack.

What it hosts

  • Authentik — identity, SSO and MFA (LXC container)
  • Nginx Proxy Manager — public HTTPS reverse proxy (LXC container)
  • OpenClaw — self-hosted AI gateway
  • The full media stack — Plex, Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, Seerr

Demonstrated work

  • Created scoped API access for automated deployment, rather than relying on broad admin credentials.
  • Deployed OpenClaw into the environment from scratch.
  • Used snapshots and rollback copies during risky changes, so proxy and identity work could be reverted safely.
  • Configured SSH access into selected containers for direct troubleshooting.
  • Integrated reverse proxying and identity services across multiple hosted applications.

Exact guest IDs, IPs, hostnames and backup schedules are being documented as each service is formalised — full inventory is an ongoing task rather than a finished artefact.

Still to document

  • Guest IDs, IP addressing and hostnames for every service.
  • Backup policy and restore testing per container.
  • Upgrade and recovery runbooks.
