Homelab

Homelab setup

I’ve always wanted to learn more about computer networking, as well as running a variety of services such as jellyfin, kubernetes, OPNSense, etc. Recently, I purchased two small form factor PCs to experiment with and learn more.

Hardware:

  • HP ProDesk, i5 8500t, 32GB ram
  • Lenovo M920q, i5 8500t, 16GB ram, Intel I350-T4 Quad Port RJ45
  • Two NVMe drives for containers and VMs
  • Two intel enterprise SSDs for proxmox and storage
  • Netgear GS308E managed switch

Currently running proxmox on both machines, with the plan to add a third machine for high-availability at some point.

Services:

  • jellyfin
  • samba
  • Ubuntu VM
  • k3s Kubernetes cluster
  • tailscale
  • OPNSense
