lab online

// a working network lab

Built in public, one hop at a time.

procomm.uk is my home lab on the open internet — the place I test ideas, run self-hosted services and keep sharpening the networking, edge and infrastructure skills I use every day.

What this domain is for

A lab, not a brochure

Real services, real configs. Things break here so they don't break anywhere that matters.

Learning in the open

Every service on this domain is a skill being practised — from DNS and tunnels to serverless code at the edge.

The Procomm name

A brand I've held onto for years. For now it's home to the lab; watch this space.

Zero Trust access

Identity-aware access to admin tools — no VPN, no exposed logins.

UniFi networking

Controller, VLANs and Wi-Fi design labbed on a Cloud Key before it goes near production.

planned

Self-hosting & virtualisation

Bringing a rack server online for VMs, containers and monitoring.
