Home lab

Begin

When I moved from the dorm to my first rented apartment, there was a static IP address. I decided that it could be used, and sometimes I started leaving my home computer turned on to take files from it.

First server

Later, I built a separate tower server for this, with Ubuntu running on it and my pet projects, file server, and Torrent running. Later, I installed a hypervisor (Proxmox) and delegated some services to separate machines.

Networks and Security

Almost at the same time, I started dealing with networks and decided that my virtual machines and home network It needs to be secured. I have configured OpenVPN to access my home network. When I got Mikrotik, life became much more fun, I switched to the simplicity of WireGuard, set up a firewall and created separate networks for different purposes.

Enterprise Quality

When I started to run into disk storage, I decided to take a serious server to meet my upgrade requirements, disk storage and memory. I currently have one HP Proliant DL380 Gen9 machine. with 96 GB of RAM and 10TB of disk storage.

Storage and Services

My storage is organized with Ceph, this allows me to easily change the disk configuration without RAID. All my applications are deployed in Kubernetes
