Hey, I’m Chase — go by Ced.
I’m a Digital Systems Engineer at GE Aerospace by day, homelabber by night.
I run a 6-node Proxmox VE cluster, a 12-node Raspberry Pi K3s cluster, a full observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager), VLAN-segmented UniFi network, TrueNAS storage, and a live NOC dashboard — all out of my house.
This blog documents the real builds, real incidents, and real configs. No fluff.
The Stack
- Compute: Proxmox VE (6 nodes)
- Kubernetes: K3s on 12x Raspberry Pi
- Observability: Prometheus · Grafana · Node Exporter · Blackbox Exporter · Uptime Kuma
- Network: UniFi · VLAN segmentation · Cloudflare Tunnels
- Storage: TrueNAS
- Domain: cedshomelab.com
