<p>I want to start writing about my homelab and this first post can be a short
introduction to how I got into homelabbing and a review of my current hardware.
I’ll hopefully write about the evolution of my homelab to get to this
current point and then start writing about updates as new things hit the lab.</p>
<h1 id="the-journey"><span class="heading-wear-glyph">The Journey</span></h1>
<h2 id="applications-pi-hole"><span class="heading-wear-glyph">Applications | Pi-Hole</span> <a href="#applications-pi-hole" class="heading-anchor">#</a></h2>
<p>I started with a pi-hole appliance running on a pi-0 I
had lying around. So, a little introduction into SSH and foreign operating
systems (I was loosely familiar with Linux and so Raspbian wasn’t a huge deal
to start with) and then you could just <a href="https://docs.pi-hole.net/main/basic-install/">install pi-hole</a>.
After installing it I got to learn a little bit about networking, DNS, DHCP,
etc. all from just exploring and trying out the features of pi-hole.</p>
<h2 id="hardware"><span class="heading-wear-glyph">Hardware</span> <a href="#hardware" class="heading-anchor">#</a></h2>
<p>From there I happened to come into a few computers <a href="/kind/" class="glossary-term" title="kind - kubernetes in docker" data-hover-title="kind">kind</a> of for free that a church was
recycling and so now with new-to-me x86 hardware and armed with a tiny bit of
<a href="/docker/" class="glossary-term" title="docker - container runtime" data-hover-title="docker">docker</a> experience at work - I thought “well I wonder if I could run pi-hole in
docker on a Linux machine?” and that opened the door to running other things in docker.</p>
<h1 id="applications-free-nas"><span class="heading-wear-glyph">Applications | Free-NAS</span></h1>
<p>I quickly decided I wanted a NAS after talking with a friend at work, and one
of those computers that I inherited was the perfect target for Freenas by iX
systems (Freenas has since morphed into a few things - primarily TrueNAS Core
for the homelabber). That got me somewhat familiar with jails (which is a BSD
concept as FreeNAS was based on FreeBSD, not Linux) and running
containers in different ways and then I decided I wanted Linux so I rebuilt with
Ubuntu.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>there’s been several hardware changes and such in there but that
does more or less get me to arrive at where I’m at today which is I have a
few different boxes running pretty standard operating systems for their
purposes and they are as follows.</p>

<p>Hardware: pi-3</p>
<p>I have a Raspberry Pi 3 hardwired in that is running pi-hole so that’s been a
part of my infrastructure now for a long time.</p>
<h2 id="router-opnsense"><span class="heading-wear-glyph">Router | OPNSense</span> <a href="#router-opnsense" class="heading-anchor">#</a></h2>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">stats</p>
<p>CPU: i5-8700</p>
<p>Memory: 8GB of whatever was in the box</p>
<p>Storage: 1TB SSD</p>
</div>
<p>My router is an old Optiplex SFF 5060 I got from Amazon for less than $100.
So I’m running a x86 system for my router with
OpenSense on it. Just seemed it to be another home lab standard and I’d like to
someday bring pi-hole over there or use AdGuard or integrate those two things
maybe a little bit more completely but right now they are mostly separate.</p>
<h2 id="networking-vlans"><span class="heading-wear-glyph">Networking | VLANs</span> <a href="#networking-vlans" class="heading-anchor">#</a></h2>
<p>There’s a
managed switch in there for some VLAN tomfoolery for my cameras and an IOT
network type of a thing.</p>
<h2 id="networking-vpn-tailscale"><span class="heading-wear-glyph">Networking | VPN | Tailscale</span> <a href="#networking-vpn-tailscale" class="heading-anchor">#</a></h2>
<p>They’re on tailscale as well so my DNS happens over tailscale.</p>

<p>Memory: 64 GB</p>
<p>Storage: 4TB SSD + 2 TB HDD for zfs backup</p>
<p>OS: Universal Blue Aurora</p>
</div>
<p>My daily-driver desktop is somewhat apart of my homelab now as I have a 3090 in
there with 20 GB of VRAM so I can run some heavier LLMs for self-hosted AI
workloads. Everything in that space runs in a container and then I manage
docker containers with compose stacks and portainer for visibility.</p>
<h3 id="applications"><span class="heading-wear-glyph">Applications</span> <a href="#applications" class="heading-anchor">#</a></h3>
<p>Some of the apps I run here are ollama, open-webui, automatic1111’s stable diffusion webui, whisper-webui</p>

<p>CPU: Ryzen 7 5700G</p>
<p>GPU: None right now</p>
<p>Memory: 128 GB</p>
<p>Storage: 2x12 TB ZFS Mirror + another 2x12 TB ZFS Mirror + 500GB disk for NVR</p>
<p>OS: Ubuntu Server 24.04</p>
</div>
<p>At the moment I am managing containers using Docker Compose stacks. Many
applications have their own stack but then I also have stacks of many
applications. The Compose files are all organized by host and they’re in git
and I use GitHub as my main get back and remote storage.</p>
<h3 id="applications-1"><span class="heading-wear-glyph">Applications</span> <a href="#applications-1" class="heading-anchor">#</a></h3>
<p>There are currently 74 containers running on my server, I will not list them all but here’s some highlights:</p>
<ul>
<li>traefik</li>
<li>portainer</li>
<li>nextcloud</li>
<li>jellyfin</li>
<li>*arr stack</li>
<li>code-server</li>
<li>kanboard</li>
</ul>
<p>I regularly spin up compose stacks to try new things as I hear about them in
newsletters and such - I will be making an attempt to write about them more
frequently in a homelabbing series</p>

<p>There’s 2 really good options for self-hosting a YT front-end…</p>
<p><a href="https://github.com/bbilly1/tubearchivist">Tube Archivist</a></p>
<p><a href="https://github.com/Tzahi12345/YoutubeDL-Material">YouTubeDL-Material</a></p>
<p>They have their pros and cons.
You can also build yourself with the above utilities and use Plex or Jellyfin to serve up videos…</p>
<p><strong>Your self-hosting journey is up to you!</strong></p>
<h2 id="youtube"><span class="heading-wear-glyph">YouTube</span> <a href="#youtube" class="heading-anchor">#</a></h2>
<p>Downloading YouTube videos is a bit of a sore topic… Mainly you don’t to hurt creators who rely on YT ad revenue for their livlihood.</p>
<p>Then again, maybe you’re a vigilante who knows that YT also monetizes videos for their <em>own</em> gain and that the creators don’t see that money either!</p>
<p>The solution is pretty easy and is 2-fold…</p>
<ol>
<li>Download YT videos</li>
<li>Personally support the content creators you follow via paypall, patreon, or whatever else they might have set-up…. even a buck or two a month is more than they’d get from your ad revenue explicitly plus it all goes to them!</li>
