Servers in the foothills.
Tenants across Canada█
Managed VMs, private AI, and storage on owned hardware, out of Hinton, Alberta. One operator. One rack. One person answering the email.
The proof is the production environment running on it.
Everything below runs on the same hardware available to tenants. If it can host all of this, it can host you.
Four things, done properly.
Four things this cluster actually does well. If it isn't listed here, ask anyway. Most things are doable, and the answer will be honest.
Managed VMs
NVMe-backed VMs on a Proxmox cluster. Sites, internal apps, business workloads. Your VM, your root, real hardware underneath.
Private AI
Open-source models on dedicated GPUs. Internal chat, document search, transcription, workflow automation. Your prompts and your data stay on this rack.
Storage & Backup
Fast NVMe mirror for hot data, bulk HDD pool for backups and archives. ZFS underneath, snapshots included, off-cluster replication if you want it.
Cannabis-Friendly Hosting
Licensed retailers and adjacent businesses, hosted by someone who runs cannabis-retail systems for a living. The requirements aren't a surprise because they're the same ones I deal with.
Real iron, written down honestly.
No marketing numbers. This is what's actually on the rack.
Things that actually shipped.
Stuff that runs on, or was built for, this hardware.
A web app for visualising family trees from The Sims 4 save files. It reads local save data and pulls out every sim, household, genealogy edge, trait, skill, career and aspiration, then renders the full family tree in the browser.
Tested end-to-end on a 672-sim save. Background workers handle the parsing, the front end renders the tree, and it reaches the internet through a Cloudflare Tunnel. No exposed ports on the homelab.
A custom observability agent on n8n. It polls the Proxmox API, n8n's execution history, fail2ban across hosts, and Nextcloud activity, then routes the raw signal through a local LLM to decide what's worth a human's time.
The result: alerts in Nextcloud Talk and Gmail with context attached, not 400 false-positive emails a week. Suppression rules live in the system prompt, not brittle YAML.
An inventory intelligence tool for high-volume cannabis retail. Drop in Cova and Greenline reports (transfers, purchase orders, inventory, sales) alongside the AGLC order sheet, and it builds one consolidated procurement order across every store you operate. One sheet instead of one per location.
Custom risk logic flags stockout probability and prioritizes orders by value and case availability. Cuts the per-store ordering grind down to a single Sunday pass.
Most hosting today is a portal, a chatbot, and a forum thread from 2017. Micro Mountain is a rack in a small mountain town, and a person who built it.
If something on your stack breaks at 11pm, the email goes to me. If you're not sure whether a workload fits, ask. The answer will be honest, including "that's not what this is for."
