Labs Pillar
Proxmox, Docker, lightweight Kubernetes, dev environments, and reproducible service platforms.
Build one complete GitHub Actions pipeline for a disposable Docker service: test, build, publish a versioned image, deploy it, deliberately fail the new version, and roll back to the previous digest/tag.
Use a Raspberry Pi as a dedicated Mosquitto and Zigbee2MQTT utility node, with Home Assistant as a separate consumer, explicit authentication, stable Zigbee device mapping, and end-to-end message validation.
Build a disposable three-node Proxmox cluster, verify quorum and network requirements, create one reusable guest template, back it up, restore it, and document placement decisions...
Build a Raspberry Pi monitor with a supported digital temperature sensor, explicit wiring/calibration checks, durable readings, and a controlled service-alert test.
Deploy Nginx Proxy Manager with persistent data, route one disposable backend through a real hostname, and validate HTTP-to-HTTPS behavior plus certificate issuance without exposing the admin interface unnecessarily.
Build a maintainable Raspberry Pi container host with Docker Engine, the current Compose plugin, service health checks, and a controlled update workflow.
