Built for control.
Designed for family.
Zylstra Industrial Group is a self-hosted homelab running on Proxmox, serving our family with private, secure, and reliable digital infrastructure.
Why self-host?
In a world where cloud services come and go, and privacy is increasingly commodified, we chose to take control. Every service we run is one less dependency on a third party.
Our infrastructure runs on a Proxmox virtualization cluster, containerized with Docker, and reverse-proxied through Traefik with automatic SSL. Authentication flows through Authentik for centralized, secure access.
It is not just a server. It is a learning platform, a family project, and a statement about digital autonomy.
