Welcome to My Homelab

This wiki serves as the central hub for documenting the setup, configuration, and ongoing projects in my homelab. The goal of this space is to keep track of hardware configurations, software deployments, network setups, and other related topics.

Homelab Overview

My homelab is built around hardware and software components that support a variety of use cases, including:

  • Virtualisation: Proxmox hypervisor running multiple VMs for various applications and services.
  • Networking: Managed LAN with Omada-controlled access points and a managed switch.
  • Automation: Home Assistant running as a VM on Proxmox, Zigbee network for the majority of smart devices.
  • Storage: TrueNAS VM for file management, Plex media, and Time Machine backups.

Hardware

Servers:

  • Dell R730 — 2x E5-2630 v4, 128GB RAM, 7x 4TB SAS Drives, Nvidia Quadro P2000 (Plex GPU transcoding)

Networking:

  • Router: TP-Link Archer AX73 AX5400
  • Managed Switch: TP-Link SG2218
  • Access Points: TP-Link Omada EAP772 (indoor), 2x TP-Link EAP225-Outdoor (garage backhaul)
  • Switches: 2x Gigabit Dumb Switches

Other Equipment:

  • UPS: EcoFlow River 2 in UPS Mode

Software

Operating Systems:

  • Proxmox (hypervisor)
  • Ubuntu Server (VMs and Docker host)
  • TrueNAS (NAS VM)

Apps and Services:

  • Home Assistant (VM)
  • Plex Media Server (GPU-accelerated via Quadro P2000)
  • Radarr / Sonarr / Prowlarr
  • NZBGet
  • Overseerr

Docker Services (sigdocker):

  • Nginx Proxy Manager — reverse proxy and SSL termination
  • Portainer — Docker management UI
  • Gokapi — file upload and sharing
  • Stirling PDF — PDF editor
  • MeshCentral — remote desktop and support
  • DokuWiki — this wiki
  • siganto.online — personal homepage

Networking Services:

  • Omada Controller — AP and switch management
  • AdGuard Home — network-wide DNS ad blocking

Storage:

  • TrueNAS — Plex data and Time Machine backups via NFS/SMB

Current Projects

  • Public-facing web presence — siganto.online live with links to all self-hosted services, résumé, and about page.
  • DokuWiki — setting up this wiki as a central homelab knowledge base.
  • Reverse proxy — Nginx Proxy Manager handling SSL and routing for all services via siganto.online subdomains.
  • Plex Media Server — GPU-accelerated transcoding via Nvidia Quadro P2000.

Future Plans

  • Expand storage with additional drives and improved redundancy.
  • Implement advanced monitoring (Grafana/Prometheus or similar) for network devices and VMs.
  • Set up VLANs to segment IoT, trusted, and server traffic.
