Direction 06 — Infrastructure

Virtualisation, servers and networks

Proxmox, servers, network gear, video surveillance and monitoring. I build infrastructure that grows instead of breaking.

Infrastructure / capabilities

What it covers

From a single server to a cluster, from cabling to cameras — infrastructure planning, setup and management.

Proxmox VE

A virtualisation cluster, VMs, LXC containers and live migration.

Proxmox Backup Server

Deduplication, incremental copies, offsite replication and restore testing.

Network and segmentation

Switches, VLANs, routing, Wi-Fi coverage and an OPNsense/pfSense firewall.

VPN

WireGuard, IPsec, L2TP and site-to-site — on a physical appliance or an OPNsense VM.

Proxy and HTTPS

Nginx Proxy Manager or Zoraxy, automatic certificates and Cloudflare integration.

S3 storage

MinIO/S3 — for backups, archives and applications, locally and remotely.

Monitoring

Uptime Kuma — continuous checks on services, ports and certificates, with alerts to Telegram.

process

How the process runs

  1. 01

    Audit

    Existing servers, network and risks — a map on paper.

  2. 02

    Design

    Topology, hardware list and budget.

  3. 03

    Build

    Installation, configuration and migration with minimal downtime.

  4. 04

    Operate

    Monitoring, updates and documentation.

cases

Examples

Virtualisation

Proxmox cluster for an office

Two nodes, shared storage and live migration — one server going down does not stop the system.

Network

Site network and cameras

VLAN segmentation, a PoE switch and 16 IP cameras on one NVR.

faq

Common questions

Can old servers be reused?

Often yes — Proxmox runs well on older hardware. I assess each case individually.

Where is camera footage stored?

On a local NVR at your site. A separate disk array is recommended.

Need stable infrastructure?

I will prepare a topology and a realistic hardware budget.
