    <h1 id="homelab">HomeLab</h1>

<p>This page tells you about my Home Lab and the technologies I have learnt anout and use:</p>

<h3 id="hardware">Hardware</h3>

<h4 id="servers">Servers</h4>

<p>My main server nicknamed SOONtm because it will always be in a state of &quot;It will be ready soon&quot; and is unfortuantly not on at all times because it is in my bedroom and it is loud.</p>
<ul>
  <li>CPU: AMD Epyc 7551P</li>
  <li>RAM: 256GB DDR4 ECC</li>
  <li>MoB: Supermicro H11SSL-i</li>
  <li>GPU: nVidia Quadro M4000</li>
  <li>Storage: 2x Intel 256GB SATA SSDs, 2x WD Red 4TB HDD, 2x Seagate Exos 8TB HDD, 1x Intel 110GB Optaine SSD, + multiple other SSDs of varius size and brand.</li>
  <li>OS: Proxmox</li>
</ul>

<p>My Secondary server named dockerbox and is on at all times and, as the name suggests, is used for docker.</p>
<ul>
  <li>CPU: AMD Athlon 5350</li>
  <li>RAM: 8GB DDR3</li>
  <li>MoB: Asus ITX</li>
  <li>Storage: 1x Samsung 256GB SSD, 1x WD Red 4TB SSD</li>
  <li>OS: Linux Arch</li>
</ul>

<p>My Tertiary server named containercontainer and is on at all times and, also used for docker.</p>
</ul>
  <li>CPU: Intel i5 8500</li>
  <li>RAM: 8GB DDR4</li>
  <li>MoB: Dell</li>
  <li>Storage: 1x Crucial 500GB NVMe SSD</li>
  <li>OS: Linux Arch</li>
</ul>

<h4 id="cloud">Cloud</h4>
<p>I have 1 Cloud VM hosted in Linode that serves a similar perpouse to dockerbox but for services better suted for cloud.</p>
</li>
<li>CPU: 1x Shared CPU Core</li>
<li>RAM: 1GB</li>
<li>Storage: 30GB</li>
<li><p>OS: Debian 12</p>
<h4 id="networking">Networking</h4>
<p>I mainly use Asus for my networking solutions and make use of their AiMesh for WiFi in my house as it has good coverage and parent approval factor as I dont have to run cables everyware.</p>
</li>
<li>Modem: Virgin Hub 3 - in modem mode</li>
<li>Router: Asus RT-AX88U</li>
<li>APs: 2x Asus RT-AC88U - As AiMesh Nodes</li>
<li><p>Switch: HPE OfficeConnect 1950 JG960A</p>
<h3 id="software">Software</h3>
<p>I am a big fan of Virtulization and containerization, so I Primarilly use Proxmox and Docker</p>
<p>SOONtm:</p>
</li>
<li>The main VM is running TrueNAS Scale which has the 2 8TB HDDs and the Intel Optaine drives passed through. It has those drives in a ZFS pool with the 2 HDDs mirrored and the Optaine drive set as a Level 2 cache. </li>
<li><p>The other VMs are currently used for testing various services and OSs but when the server is on 24/7, I plan to run various services such as JellyFin, game servers and migrating containers from dockerbox. </p>
<p>On dockerbox the containers I am currently running are:</p>
</li>
<li>AdGaurd Home - A DNS filter that filters out Ads from webpages for all devices on the network as well as other privacy and security features.</li>
<li>FireFox - A Web Browser accessable from a Web Browser, browserception.</li>
<li>Jacket - a torrent searcher for qBittorrent</li>
<li>Minecraft Server - a server for Minecraft</li>
<li>qBittorrent - a torrenting client</li>
<li>TrueCommand - An interface for managing many instancess of TrueNAS</li>
</ul>
