Enterprise-Grade AI and Security Homelab

Welcome to my homelab documentation, showcasing the infrastructure I’ve built for AI development, security research, and various experimental projects.

MCP Ecosystem

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem powers my AI infrastructure, enabling seamless integration between various AI models and services.

Local Cluster and Network Infrastructure

My homelab features a comprehensive network setup designed for security, performance, and flexibility.

Local Cluster Diagram

Infrastructure Highlights:

  • Kubernetes Cluster: 3-node k3s cluster for container orchestration
  • Network Segmentation: VLANs for security isolation
  • Storage: NAS with 40TB raw capacity, ZFS for data integrity
  • Compute: Mix of Intel NUCs and custom-built servers
  • Monitoring: Prometheus, Grafana, and custom dashboards

AI & Machine Learning

  • Local LLM Deployment: Running Llama, Mistral, and Deepseek models
  • Vector Database: Qdrant for semantic search capabilities
  • Training Infrastructure: GPU nodes for model fine-tuning

Security Research

  • Isolated Testing Environment: Separate VLAN for malware analysis
  • Honeypot Network: Monitoring and analyzing attack patterns
  • SIEM: Security information and event management system

Development & CI/CD

  • GitLab Instance: Self-hosted version control and CI/CD
  • Container Registry: Harbor for Docker image management
  • Development Environments: Isolated containers for each project
