I created this repository to store information on my homelab and most of my devices I use publicly. I also like having things documented publicly in the case I forget specs on certain devices, etc. and I can't access the device (e.g. I'm away from home).
I have a pretty big homelab consisting of three active/semi-active servers (one formerly my old gaming desktop technically).
- Intel i7-13700K @ 3.4 GHz Base Clock (16 cores and 24 threads)
- 64 GBs of DDR4 RAM
- 1 x 4 TBs NVMe SSD (Samsung 990 Pro)
- 1 x 2.5 gbps NIC
- Liquid-cooled with an Arctic Freezer III 360mm AIO (radiator mounted as intake)!
Runs Debian 12 with KVM and QEMU for VMs, VLANs, and more.
NOTE - A big con with this server is the CPU is very power hungry. I may undervolt the CPU in the future so it consumes less power, but it's fine for my needs right now and I require the high single-threaded performance for some things I use it for such as LAN packet generation/pen-testing. The CPU itself was fairly cheap and beat processors with more cores/threads at $100 - $200 more performance-wise.
Here's the output from lshw -short.

I was able to achieve 5.3 GHz on all P-cores (performance) and 4.2 GHz on E-cores (efficiency) while under 70C CPU temperature using the stress -c 24 command on Debian 12!
Here's a screenshot showing the clock speeds of each CPU while stress-testing.
The idle temperatures are really great also!
Lastly, here's a picture I took while building the server. The wire management is cleaner now!
NOTE - I definitely didn't need a 850W PSU, but I might revamp the motherboard and get a GPU in the future which would require it.
- AMD Ryzen 5 3600 @ 3.6 GHz (6 cores and 12 threads)
- 32 GBs of DDR4 RAM
- 1 x 2 TBs NVMe SSD (Samsung 970 EVO)
- 1 x 1 TBs SATA SSD (Samsung 860)
- 1 x 2 TBs HDD
- 1 x 8 TBs External HDD
- 1 x 1 Gbps NIC
- 1 x 10 Gbps NIC - Not Attached

I have three Raspberry Pi Model B units that I like experimenting with. I've also purchased a sensor kit for these Raspberry Pi units and hope to create a weather station with them at some point in the future!
I have a Grafana server listening on a VM on one of my home servers with InfluxDB and Prometheus as data sources. The Grafana VM's main OS is installed onto an SSD, but the data from Prometheus and InfluxDB are stored on an HDD due to having a lot more space.
All of my home servers, VMs, routers, and networks report statistics to the Grafana server as seen below!
Around late September of 2023, I decided to purchase an HP EliteDesk 800 Thin Client and install Proxmox onto the host with a VM created with OPNsense installed to act as my main router. Unfortunately, USB to Ethernet drivers are very inefficient in OPNsense/FreeBSD (very slow speeds, in my case) which is why I ended up virtualizing the router via Proxmox, KVM, and QEMU. I've attached two TP-Link USB To Ethernet adapters to the server so that I have a total of three NICs to utilize. The on-board NIC is assigned to WAN while one of the USB to Ethernet adapters is used for LAN. The last USB to Ethernet adapter is used for management. I've configured multiple VLANs for my home servers, WiFi, and more. I've also setup logging and statistics to a Grafana server I have hosted on a VM on one of my home servers.
I also understand using USB to Ethernet adapters isn't recommended, but I haven't had any issues with them speed-wise and they are capable of achieving gigabit speeds which is the most I really need in my LAN environment.
Here's the output from lshw -short on the Proxmox host.

I have an EdgeSwitch8 that all servers go through which handles VLAN tagging and untagging.
I have a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi router that acts as an access point, but has the option for creating your own LAN.
I have a powerful gaming desktop that I use as my main PC, development work, and general use such as gaming. I have Windows 11 installed, and I use VS Code and its Remote extension for developing projects on my home servers in VMs running Linux.
- AMD Ryzen 9 5900X @ 3.7 GHz (12 cores and 24 threads)
- RTX 3090 TI
- 64 GBs of DDR4 RAM
- 1 x 4 TBs NVMe SSD (WD Black SN850X)
- 1 x 2 TBs NVMe SSD (Samsung 980 PRO)
- 1 x 1 Gbps NIC
I have an ASUS TUF Gaming A17 laptop with Ubuntu 22.04 installed that I use for development work and general use. I don't do much gaming on it unless I'm away from my home, but it handles most games just fine!
I had an EdgeRouter X running EdgeOS software. I had each home server and WiFi on their own /24 VLANs and still do on the newer router.
This router bricked after attempting a firmware upgrade. It was replaced with the router mentioned above.
