My Homelab

Note: None of the Code in This Repository is AI Generated (As Far As I Know). If I find out it is, I will Label it as AI.

It Uses Proxmox as the Virtualization Platform.

Network Hardware is Unifi

Security is a Combination of Cloudflare + Unifi IPS

Storage is 2 Synology 8 bay NASs that uses CIFS (Linux VMs)/SMB and iSCSI (Windows VMs), Only Critical Data is Backed up via Backblaze B2/S3 Buckets

Backups Use Proxmox Backup Server (Proxmox VMs) + Synology Active Backup for Business (Windows Devices without VMs (Desktops, Laptops, etc...))

The VMs I Use Contain:

Cloud-Int with Ubuntu Server with Docker

Windows Server 2022 (I Know its Mainstream Support is going EOL 10/2026, But I Already Rebuilt Everything from Server 2019 and didn't find out about the EOL until after I was done.)

LXC Containers (I’m trying to rebuild these one at a time into Cloud-Int with Ubuntu Server with Docker as I didn’t know the LXC containers all share the same Kernel.) (Completed 02/2026)

20. Setup and Enabled DNSSEC on Homelab Domain With Cloudflare and Domain Registar (03/2026)

My TO-DO List:

1. Set Up some Automation (Still need to figure out if I’m going to invest my time in Ansible or another product).
2. Figure out a better storage solution than just 2 NASs (Maybe Storage Array with Tiered Storage?).
3. A Secondary Site Backup strategy (I have Backblaze for offsite but that just has critical data, Need an Offsite solution for all Data).
4. Figure out how to Sync my Pi-Hole Instances or do some sort of load balancing (Kubernetes?).
5. Get Home Assistant Setup (Will Need Separate Hardware Sitting on my IOT Network).
6. Get a better Hardware Solution so Each Mini PC/VM Host has a Redundent Failover or Has High Availability. (Ill go back to Proxmox HA once I get the Hardware)
