# Intel NUC Proxmox & Linode Homelab ## About * Setup an INTEL NUC machine running Proxmox on baremetal. * Hardened Proxmox installation and configured private subnets for virtualized hosts. * Setup Linode OpenVPN instance, hardened the host, configured Linode Firewall rules, and setup private subnets for individual VPN profiles. * Used OpenVPN host to secure communications between each virtualized host running on the Proxmox server. * Configured a Kali virtual machine on the Proxmox server with an installation of Nessus and a secured/hardened remote desktop configuration to allow running vulnerability scans while away from home. ## Postmortem * Learned a LOT doing this. But it also threw me down the `homelab` rabbit hole and now my wallet hates me. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
