Homelab Showcase
Aspects of my homelab are posted here.
Physical Devices
My current firewall and switches in my environment. I am grateful for receiving devices either free or heavily discounted from my time at school.
An overview of the 30G
Routes that get me out to the internet and VLANs
Policies that direct traffic in my network
Port forwarding to allow services to work outside of my network
My first try at an IPSec Tunnel in the case Tailscale is down
The 30G comes with built in antennas for WiFi.
This is my layer 2 webui where most of my end devices are plugged in.
This is my layer 3 switch, I have 2 of these that either acts as the gateway or moves traffic straight to the firewall.
This is my physical rack. I have tried to organize the front, and the back is a work in progress.
Active Directory and VMs
Here you will get a taste of my ADDS and services that support it.
This server runs my instance of Hyper-V that houses most of my VMs
This is my hypervisor running. You can see it runs quite a few VMs including a redundant DC.
My Hyper-V teams 4 NICs together for redundancy. The team also avoids speed bottlenecks if I upgrade my internal network to 2.5G or faster in the future.
My ADDS showing my DCs. One of them is redundant as a VM, and the other is installed on bare metal.
One of my DCs is the DHCP server. You can see a bunch of devices obtaining leases.
My DCs forward their DNS over to my Pi-Hole to prevent traffic from malicious sites.
I have a WSUS server managing updates to ensure my domain runs lean with just security and critical updates.
NAS
My first 'server' it is robust enough to host a variety of services
The front page of my multi-purpose NAS running TrueNAS
NginX allows all my services to be accessible remotely
The service that blocks malicious sites and ads
SMB share to help backup documentation and bitwarden keys
A self hosted meta search engine that takes results from multiple search engines
A self hosted password manager that lives on my server
A tunnel that allows me to get into my network remotely
As my homelab grows the need for a central dashboard became paramount
Nextcloud
My file storage solution and my tool for collaboration both in school and outside of school. Nextcloud is very robust in that it can often replace my OS.
The front page of Nextcloud. I tend to use it as a calendar since I frequent my storage often.
Currently Nextcloud servers as my filestore. The storage is on an array running raid 6.
External storage addon that allows Nextcloud to manage my SMB shares on my NAS.
I share this with a friend and also use it when I need to collaborate with a group project.
Nextcloud is currently hosted on TrueNAS. I'm not sure if its the best way, but it made it simple to deploy.
