Homelab the Right Way: Proxmox, OPNsense, Home Assistant, backups and Android apps.

I run Proxmox, OPNsense and Home Assistant at home and write about doing it the right way: backups that restore, networks that are locked down, automations that just work. I also ship Android apps on Google Play as Hartmann Studios. Articles here are cross-posts from my blog (canonical links point there), drafted with AI help and edited by me.
