Home Server / Homelab

Started: About a month ago.

Server Specifications

My current homelab is powered by a Dell R520 server. It's packed with 128GB of RAM, 8 4TB SAS hard drives in a RAID Z2 configuration, and dual 6-core, 12-thread Xeon CPUs. This setup provides plenty of storage and computing power for my various projects.

Services Running

On this server, I host my personal website, the one you're on right now! In addition, I'm running several Docker containers such as:

• PiHole - Network-wide ad blocker
• Unifi Controller - Managing my Ubiquiti WiFi network

I'm also running Plex for media streaming, and a few Windows and Linux virtual machines and containers.

Hypervisor: Proxmox

Everything is managed using Proxmox as the hypervisor, which allows me to efficiently run multiple virtual machines and containers.

Custom 12U Rack

I've built a custom 12U rack out of 2x4s to house the server and other equipment. Check out the image below:
