06 / AYG LABS
Personal lab & innovation
AYG Labs brings together three physical servers with separate AI production, development/testing and personal cloud roles. The lab supports local/hybrid AI, Docker-based development, Nextcloud and Immich, with centralized monitoring through Beszel. It is a space for independent research and hands-on infrastructure work; personal cloud and media services remain limited to LAN/VPN access.
