Welcome to the DanpLab Blog
DanpLab is the technical blog of Daniele Puglisi, IT SysAdmin with 15+ years of experience. Here you'll find practical guides on Proxmox, Cloudflare, Microsoft 365, self-hosted AI, and IT automation.
Who I am
I'm Daniele Puglisi, an IT System Administrator with over 15 years of experience in hybrid infrastructures. I work daily with:
- Microsoft 365 / Entra ID / Intune — identity management and device compliance
- Networking — MikroTik, Palo Alto, Cloudflare Zero Trust
- Virtualization — Proxmox VE, VMware
- Automation — PowerShell, Ansible, n8n
- Self-hosted AI — Ollama, local LLM models on GPU
What you'll find here
This blog was born out of the need to document what I do every day: procedures, configurations, troubleshooting, and experiments in my homelab.
The articles are technical and practical: no theory for its own sake, but guides you can replicate in your environment.
The homelab
The lab runs on Proxmox VE with dedicated hardware:
- Ryzen 7 5700G / 32 GB RAM
- NVIDIA A10 24 GB for AI/ML workloads
- MikroTik RB5009 with VLAN segmentation
- Synology DS923+ for storage
- Cloudflare Tunnel for secure remote access
Automatic updates
Articles are published automatically by my AI agent (Jarvis), which analyzes global and Italian IT trends every week, selects the most relevant topics, and generates updated technical guides.
Happy reading!
