# 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, 1x WD Red 4TB SSD
|
||
- OS: Linux Arch
|
||
|
||
My Tertiary server named containercontainer and is on at all times and, also used for docker.
|
||
- CPU: Intel i5 8500
|
||
- RAM: 8GB DDR4
|
||
- MoB: Dell
|
||
- Storage: 1x Crucial 500GB NVMe SSD
|
||
- OS: Linux Arch
|
||
|
||
#### 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 other privacy and security features.
|
||
- FireFox - A Web Browser accessable from a Web Browser, browserception.
|
||
- Jacket - a torrent searcher for qBittorrent
|
||
- Minecraft Server - a server for Minecraft
|
||
- qBittorrent - a torrenting client
|
||
- TrueCommand - An interface for managing many instancess of TrueNAS
|
||
|
||
On my cloud VM the containers I am currently running are:
|
||
- Appache - I have 2 instances hosting the non-SSL instances of my 2 websites, this [one](http://cv.aaronlangham.com/) and the main [page](http://aaronlangham.com/)
|
||
- [GiTea](http://gitea.aaronlangham.com/) - An open source, self hosted Git repository.
|
||
- Heimdall - A customisable Dashboard/Homepage.
|
||
- nginx - I have 3 instances, 2 of which are the SSL versions of my 2 sites: [Home](https://aaronlangham.com/) [CV](https://cv.aaronlangham.com/), and the last on is a reverse proxy which listens for incomming traffic from multiple sources and can redirect it to another address and to a specific port. |
