Mylemans Labs
Free, structured IT learning paths for sysadmins and homelabbers. Read a lesson, do it in your own lab, pass the check to unlock the next one. No account needed to browse.
Projects & tools
Things I built so I would not have to do it twice.
Learning paths, a network planner, scripts and small apps that came out of real jobs and the homelab. Everything here is free to use; the source is on GitHub where there is source.
Network Designer
Plan VLANs, subnets and addressing for a new site in the browser and export a plan you can hand to whoever builds it. The tool I use before touching a switch.
Scripts, guides and small tools
The Complete Hyper-V Guide
Six chapters from first install to backup and recovery, written as a book and published as a series. Virtual switches, storage, live migration, replica, backups.
Security Baseline Check
Answer a short baseline about your setup and get a score plus a list of concrete fixes. Anonymous, or sign in to Labs to track it over time.
HomeLab automation (PowerShell)
Build a Windows lab from an ISO to a deployed RDS environment with one script set. Template builder, unattend injection, VM deployment on Hyper-V.
UniFi API scripts
Python scripts against the UniFi controller API. Create sites, VLANs and PPSK networks without clicking through the UI.
OpenVPN Connect via Intune
Detection and apply scripts to push an OpenVPN (CloudConnexa) profile to managed Windows devices with Intune. From the zero-trust remote access video.
PrivateGlue
A small self-hosted IT documentation app for homelabs, in the spirit of IT Glue. Devices, credentials, notes, one place.
Wi-Fi and URL QR code generators
Two tiny Python tools, one makes a scannable Wi-Fi join code, the other a QR for any URL. Handy for guest networks and video overlays.
Want something built?
Most of these started as a problem at work or a question in the comments. If you have one of those, the contact page is the place; the Discord is the faster one.
