🚀 Proxmox & Docker Monitoring using Pulse – Overview Preview

Sharing a quick overview of how my Proxmox and Docker monitoring setup looks using Pulse 👀

This is NOT a step-by-step tutorial yet — more on a high-level view lang muna kung paano siya naka-setup and kung ano yung mga metrics na puwede mong makita in real time.

💡 With Pulse, you can easily monitor:

- Proxmox node status
- VM & container health
- Docker containers performance
- Resource usage in one clean dashboard

🎥 Coming soon:
👉 Overview video
👉 Explanation kung paano siya gumagana
👉 Use cases for homelab & small production setup

Perfect ito for:

- Homelab enthusiasts

🚀 NEW VIDEO ALERT: HomeLab Series Part 1! 🚀
Kamusta, mga Ka-Tech! 👋 Welcome sa ating unang episode ng HomeLab Series dito sa Ervstechlab! 💻🔥

Marami sa atin ang gustong matuto tungkol sa servers, pero saan nga ba dapat magsimula? Sa video na ito, hihimayin natin ang isa sa pinaka-importante na konsepto sa IT world: Virtualization.

Ano nga ba ang Virtualization? 🤔 Isipin niyo na sa loob ng isang physical machine (Server), pwede tayong gumawa ng maraming "virtual" na computers na independent sa isa’t isa. Tipid sa hardware, tipid sa kuryente, pero sagad ang performance!

What to expect in this video: ✅ Virtualization Overview – Bakit ito ang "backbone" ng modern IT? ✅ The Power of Proxmox & Docker – Alamin ang pagkakaiba at gamit nila. ✅ My Personal Server Build – Ipapakita ko sa inyo ang hardware na gamit ko para sa lab na ito.

Bakit mo kailangang subukan ang Virtualization?

⚡ Faster Recovery – Madaling i-restore pag may error.

💰 Cost Efficiency – Hindi mo kailangan ng sampung physical servers.

🛠️ Safe Testing – Pwedeng mag-experiment nang hindi nasisira ang main system mo.

Ready ka na bang mag-build ng sarili mong HomeLab? Panoorin na ang Part 1!

You DON’T need a full Omada stack to get pro Wi-Fi! 🚫🌐

Learn how to connect Omada APs to any router using a Hardware or Software controller. Pro features, less gear.

👇 Basic Setup & Topology Overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVl_AV9hWg8&t=3s

Many think using TP-Link Omada requires a full Omada stack (Gateway, Switch, AP). But by focusing on Networking Fundamentals—specifically VLAN tagging and Subnetting—you can build a more powerful, flexible system.

In my latest technical vlog, I demonstrate how to integrate the TP-Link EAP225-Outdoor into an open-source ecosystem:

Routing/Security: Handled by pfSense/OPNsense or any Router with VLAN Feature.

Network Logic: L2 Managed switches passing VLAN tags.

Virtualization: Running the Omada Controller via Proxmox/Docker.

The result? A professional-grade, segmented network that utilizes the best tools for the job, regardless of the brand.

Are you looking to optimize your organization's network infrastructure? I offer technical consultations and custom network design services to help you build a scalable, secure environment. 📬 Message me to discuss your project.

🌐 Networking 101: Mix & Match Your Hardware! 📶

Ever wondered if you can use TP-Link Omada EAPs without an Omada Gateway? The answer is a big YES! You don't need to be locked into a single ecosystem to have a professional-grade network. This diagram shows how you can use powerful open-source firewalls like pfSense or OPNsense to handle the "heavy lifting," while using Omada APs for your Wi-Fi.

The Concept is Simple: ✅ Firewall/Router: Handles the VLANs (Management, Employee, Guest). ✅ L2 Managed Switch: Passes those VLAN tags to the AP. ✅ Omada Controller: Runs as a VM (Proxmox/Docker) to manage the Wi-Fi settings. ✅ EAP225-Outdoor: Broadcasts multiple SSIDs, each isolated to its own subnet.

Why does this matter? Understanding these fundamentals allows you to build a more flexible, cost-effective, and powerful network by picking the best equipment from different brands.

⚠️ NOTE: This is NOT a sponsored post. I just enjoy sharing the principles of how different networking brands can work together seamlessly!

🤩 Budget IT Hack Alert!🤩

Tired of expensive gateway routers just to get a pro-level Guest WiFi Portal?

Good news!!!
You can use your TP-Link EAP (Omada Access Points) and an Omada Controller (Hardware or Software) to create a killer Guest Portal without an Omada Gateway! 🤯

Perfect for:
🏨 Hotels
🎉 Events & Function Halls
☕ Coffee Shops

Stop overspending on an all-in-one box and leverage the powerful features already in your Omada EAPs!

🧐What's the Catch? (The "Fun" Prerequisites)

Since your Omada EAP is handling the Guest Portal and not a specialized gateway router, you need to be the smart brain behind the operation!

To pull this off like a networking ninja, you must be comfortable with:

✅ VLAN Segmentation: To keep your guests' traffic completely separate from your private network. Isolation is key!
✅ IP Subnetting: To efficiently manage your guest and private IP address ranges.
✅ Routing Fundamentals: You need to understand how to get that guest traffic out to the internet using your existing firewall/router.

Need Help Designing Your Budget-Friendly Network?

Don't let the technical terms scare you! If your budget is tight but your standards are high, I can help you design a secure, high-performance system using this exact method.

📩 Message me! I'll provide you with the best consultation for your business needs.

Disclaimer: Knowledge is power, and time is money! My consultation services are not free, I need to save up to buy my own private VLAN island. 😉

🎬 Quick Demo Video Coming Soon!

Types of VPN You Should Know

From Remote Access to Site-to-Site, and from IPSec to Cloud VPN, different VPN types serve different needs—whether for businesses connecting branch offices or individuals securing remote access.

Choosing the right VPN type ensures security, flexibility, and reliability in your network.
