Ethical Hacking class – Metasploit OS challenge.
A combination of the final steps of my college class, a new job and a Pwnagotchi experiment run wild – I have been quite absent. The class I am taking threw us into CTF groups with 10 different challenges to accomplish. I took on Challenge 9: Use the Category_09_Scanning_Exploitation-Challenge09-Group1-6VM for this question. The VM is…

LXC NFS mount, Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts, and Jellyfin
Well, this has been a slow process getting here – I have tried to get the LXCs to share the NFS mount from the host NODE for a while. I did manage to bypass the problem using normal VMs in Proxmox (see post). You can see an early failure below from before I understood the…

Windows Server 2022 Active Directory Lab Setup
Well, this has been coming for a while now. I just got really distracted with fun stuff – an Ethical Hacking course + studying for my Security+ certificate. I’ve put off acquiring certs for far to long! They expire, so I’ve had to be strategic. Back on task! My Windows Server 2025 was running a…

NFS mount in Linux via fstab! Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr – how many “arrs” there?
What a journey it has been trying to get my NAS to mount in these LXCs in Proxmox. I’ve tried quite a bit of variations in the MOUNT command and ultimately landed on: I settled on this simple approach after trying to authenticate SMB and later NFS with a username/password approach for about a week.…

CEPH & high availability implementation in a Proxmox cluster!
If you look back on one of my earlier posts on CEPH you can see it did not go so well. I didn’t really understand how it functioned in Proxmox. I knew it was a distributed storage and allowed for High Availability across the cluster but wasn’t certain on the install process. After a bit…

Homepage.dev – what took so long? Terminal apps!!
I’ve seen this before, but I was so distracted learning about Kubernetes and focusing on my job, I just never got around to it. No longer! I present to you, homepage! I spun up a LXC in Proxmox on node1 and then of course got distracted(!!) by an insanely cool terminal app watching Christian Lempa…

Back from the holidays – LXC K8S, viable or not?
Beginning again with the great work left off on from the previous post – I have started up fixing errors. Two things here – kubeadm is trying to reach out to the Internet. Not sure if that is going to cause any complications later. For the time being I am going to to disregard that…

Interesting JSON error – Bluehost site up and running.
The site is up and running without issue… until now. I started editing my very first post on the site due to bad formatting. I didn’t really understand WordPress yet, so it definitely needed to be polished up. Somehow in the process I discovered a error on WordPress. And even though it’s not a homelab…

Cloudfare tunnel for the WordPress site! Oops – hosted on Bluehost and purchased a domain
Alright, I am going to start it off checking into the HTTPS settings. I setup a Cloudfare account and that end looks good to go. Not sure if a need a public domain name to get the WordPress site setup on the Tunnels section or simply make one up for local use. Going to setup…
