Design and administration of a Proxmox VE-based virtualization infrastructure, both in a personal professional environment and in a production deployment for a client in Cameroon, with full remote management from Spain.
Personal professional environment — Torrent (Valencia)
Proxmox VE server used daily as a working platform and technical lab, running the following virtual machines and containers:
- Debian — file server and DHCP for the local network
- OpenVPN — secure network access from remote locations (field trips to Africa)
- Nextcloud — work document storage and synchronisation
- Red Hat + Ansible — automation and configuration management
- Prometheus + Grafana — resource and infrastructure monitoring
- CT Django — development and testing environment for Django projects
- CT WordPress — development and testing environment for client WordPress projects
- VM Windows — virtual machines for compatibility and testing
- Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) — automated backups of all VMs and containers
Production deployment — client in Yaoundé (Cameroon)
Remote deployment and administration of Proxmox infrastructure for an industrial sector client in Cameroon. The environment is live in production and managed entirely from Spain.
- Proxmox VE with multiple VMs in production
- Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) with staggered backup scheduling
- Tailscale — remote access via VPN with SSH key authentication, no critical port exposure
- Fail2ban + ClamAV — intrusion protection and scheduled antivirus scanning
Challenges solved
- Full administration of production servers in Africa with no possibility of immediate physical intervention
- Reliable connectivity in environments with intermittent internet access
- Preventive maintenance and incident management entirely remotely
