Machine based life support systems exist, but I don’t know how easy it would be to make them entirely self sufficient. It would be hard to fit the entire industrial base to maintain a habitat long term inside such a habitat.
Plant based self contained habitats have been tried before, such as Biosphere 2, but they didn’t quite manage to be self sufficient. In principle it should work, but you’ll need large scale experimentation to work out the details.
