| My Homelab | page | An overview of the hardware, software, and projects powering my personal homelab. | true |
Welcome to my homelab — a space where I explore new technologies, break things on purpose, and learn by doing. What started as a few old machines has grown into a modest but powerful setup that I use for self-hosting, automation, testing infrastructure tools, and running personal projects.
1. Hardware
I currently run a 3-node cluster built with energy-efficient mini PCs and repurposed desktops. Here's a breakdown:
- Node 1: AMD Ryzen 4C/4T, 16GB RAM
- Node 2: AMD Ryzen 6C/6T, 16GB RAM
- Node 3: AMD Ryzen 8C/16T, 64GB RAM
- Storage: Ceph-based distributed storage across all nodes
- Network: 1Gbps LAN with 2.5Gbps NICs for Ceph replication traffic
- Rack: Compact 10" rack with managed switch and PDU
2. Software
- Proxmox VE: Used for virtualization and clustering
- Ceph: Distributed storage for VM disks
- Kubernetes (K3s): For orchestrating containerized apps
- Gitea: Self-hosted Git with CI/CD via Gitea Actions
- OPNsense: Firewall, VLANs, and DNS (with AdGuard + Unbound)
- Monitoring: Grafana, Prometheus, Node Exporter
3. Projects
Some of the ongoing and past projects I've worked on:
- CI/CD automation using Gitea Actions
- GitOps pipeline for Kubernetes using ArgoCD
- Hugo-based personal blog hosted with Docker
- Home automation with Zigbee2MQTT and Home Assistant
- VPN and remote access via WireGuard
- Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Ansible
