Homelab

It's fun to tinker around on a homelab. Here's what mine looks like.

Network Gear

• Ubiquiti USG Router
• Ubiquiti 8 Port POE Switch
• Ubiquiti 3 APs (2 x AC Pro, 1 x U6 LR)

An old laptop that runs:

• Unifi Network Application
  • Handy Install and Update Scripts
• AdGuard Home
  • All DNS traffic gets routed through this box to primarily provide network-wide ad-blocking. Downside is that it's a single point of failure.

An old desktop that runs Proxmox:

• Homebridge
  • Acts as a bridge to connect my Ring camera to homekit
• Tailscale
  • Dedicate device to be my tailscale exit node
• Umami Analytics
  • Website analytics
• Uptime Kuma
  • Website monitoring

Notes

• Great YouTube tutorial for Proxmox: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLT98CRl2KxKHnlbYhtABg6cF50bYa8Ulo&si=5sSmOj5bmYjnl88F
