Selfhosting got me a job offer (alien.top)

I still barely believe it honestly. I'm a student "freshly" outta school with no experience, and I've been struggling finding a job for a while.

I had an (first) job interview recently and while I didn't have much to offer, I seemed to somewhat impress them with my home labbing. I run Proxmox at home for my self-hosted things and got a decent amount of experience with it, and it's what they use a lot as well. It's not that common in my age group to be interested in stuff like this, apparently.

Anyway, this is barely worthy of a post, but I'm really excited. I don't really know how it'll work out as I still got plenty to learn, but it's a big step forwards for me.

Congratulations nice! I run a homelab server too running about 15 services, apps and sites I programmed/designed, and free software like Plex! I just enjoy it, I also have AI pipelines for like stable diffusion and rvc ,

I think the hard part of home lab is scaling and designing/organizing your files and infrastructure. I literally have a monorepo with submodules of projects all of which are connected meticulously using containerization like docker, pods, etc . I'm able to bring up websites quickly like to the Internet in production as well. it's crazy. I used to pay for a VPS, and use control panel, etc, waste of money xD

homelab is great, but time consuming and learning curve
