HomeLab

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

Hardware

Servers

My main server nicknamed SOONtm because it will always be in a state of "It will be ready soon" and is unfortuantly not on at all times because it is in my bedroom and it is loud.

  • CPU: AMD Epyc 7551P
  • RAM: 256GB DDR4 ECC
  • MoB: Supermicro​ H11SSL-i
  • GPU: nVidia Quadro M4000
  • 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.
  • OS: Proxmox

My Secondary server named dockerbox and is on at all times and, as the name suggests, is used for docker.

  • CPU: AMD Athlon 5350
  • RAM: 8GB DDR3
  • MoB: Asus ITX
  • Storage: 1x Samsung 256GB SSD
  • OS: Debian 12

Cloud

I have 1 Cloud VM hosted in Linode that serves a similar perpouse to dockerbox but for services better suted for cloud.

  • CPU: 1x Shared CPU Core
  • RAM: 1GB
  • Storage: 30GB
  • OS: Debian 12

Networking

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.

  • Modem: Virgin Hub 3 - in modem mode
  • Router: Asus RT-AX88U
  • APs: 2x Asus RT-AC88U - As AiMesh Nodes
  • Switch: HPE OfficeConnect 1950 JG960A

Software

I am a big fan of Virtulization and containerization, so I Primarilly use Proxmox and Docker SOONtm:

  • 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.
  • 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.

On dockerbox the containers I am currently running are:

  • AdGaurd Home - A DNS filter that filters out Ads from webpages for all devices on the network as well as
