Intro

This is just a post to describe my homelab setup and make it linkable where needed (like in my resume). This is most definitely subject to change at any time as I continue to play with new technologies and keep adding things!

Hosts

My homelab consists of a one node proxmox host and a terramaster NAS.

The specs are:

Dell Poweredge T440
  • 2x Xeon Gold 6126 (48 logical cores)
  • 128GB RAM
  • 1x 118GB Intel Optane NVME
  • 2x 1TB MX500 SSD
  • 2x 8TB Toshiba SAS Drive
  • 1x 14TB IronWolf Pro Drive
  • 1x Nvidia Quadro M2000

For storage I have a TerraMaster F2-220 running DSM through tinycore with 2x 6TB Ironwolf HDDs.

Use Cases

My homelab is mainly to have fun! I enjoy tinkering and learning new technologies so I put most of my free time in this :)

Some cool stuff im doing is the following:

  • PfSense directly hooked to my ISPs modem with BIND and Suricata to have control over my local network.
  • Homebridge to have remote access to my custom IP camera built using an ESP32.
  • Plex for viewing my media on the go.
  • WireGuard for outside access to my servers.
  • Nginx + Authelia + Fail2Ban to expose services over the web as well as automatically ban unauthorized access attempts at a Cloudflare level.

What am I running?

VMS:

  • PfSense
  • NTP Server
  • FreeIPA
  • Ansible
  • Docker
  • HomeBridge
