All works Next work III. MC Server Stats
Home Lab
A self-hosted Linux server for 10 users, running at 99% uptime for 18 months.
Self-hosted for 10 people
The problem
Ten people needed a private VPN, shared file storage, and a game server they could count on.
What I built
I run a Linux server that handles all three. I split the 20-device network into 4 VLANs with firewall rules and an IPsec VPN, and wrote an API that reports live stats from the game server.

My Linux server handles VPN, file storage, and a Minecraft server for 10 friends. It has stayed up 99% of the time over 18 months.
I split the 20-device network into 4 VLANs with firewall rules and an IPsec VPN, and set up a VirtualBox lab for security practice. The MC Server Stats API runs against the Minecraft server here.
