🧪 My Home Lab Setup

This repo documents and tracks the configuration powering my self-hosted home lab, running on TrueNAS with a mix of VMs and Docker/Kubernetes apps.

💡 Why? I built this because I'm anti-subscription and believe in actually owning what I pay for. No monthly fees, no data handed off to some company, no features locked behind a paywall. Everything here runs on my hardware, under my control the way it should be.


🔧 Hardware Overview

Machine Specs Purpose
TrueNAS Server i3 (4th gen), 24 GB DDR3, 250 GB HDD + 2 TB HDD + 1 TB HDD NAS + App Host (TrueNAS Apps / Docker)
Proxmox Server 1 i5 (4th gen), 16 GB DDR3, 250 GB HDD + 256 GB SSD VMs: Kali Purple, Windows, TrueNAS
Proxmox Server 2 Lenovo ThinkServer RD630, 2× E5-2640, 8 GB RAM, 250 GB SSD Additional VMs

🧩 Deployed Applications

All apps below are deployed via TrueNAS Apps (Helm/Kubernetes-backed) and are currently running.


📸 Immich — v2.7.5 · App Version 1.14.21

Self-hosted photo and video backup solution. Replaced Photoprism as the primary photo management platform. Immich offers automatic mobile backups, facial recognition, smart search, and a clean Google Photos-style UI.

  • Port: 30041
  • Containers: server, pgvecto, machine-learning, redis, pgvecto_upgrade, permissions
  • Source: immich-app/immich · immich.app
  • Note: Running as root (UID/GID 0) — review Immich security precautions before exposing externally.

📺 Jellyfin — Running

Open-source media server for streaming your personal library. Handles movies, TV shows, music, and live TV with no mandatory account or telemetry. Acts as the free alternative to Plex with full local control.


🎵 Navidrome — Running

Lightweight, self-hosted music streaming server compatible with the Subsonic API. Stream your personal music library from anywhere using any Subsonic-compatible client (Symfonium, Ultrasonic, etc.).


🎬 Plex — Running

Feature-rich media server with a polished UI, client apps on virtually every platform, and optional Plex Pass features (hardware transcoding, mobile sync, live TV). Running alongside Jellyfin for flexibility.


🔒 Tailscale — Running

Zero-config VPN built on WireGuard. Creates a private mesh network between all your devices so you can securely access your home lab from anywhere without opening ports or managing firewall rules.


🧰 Networking

  • Google Wi-Fi — Main router / mesh
  • TP-Link 5-Port Gigabit Switch — Local switching
  • Cisco Linksys Gigabit Router — Running in bridge mode
  • Tailscale — Remote access VPN (WireGuard-based mesh)

About

Welcome to my home lab! I use this setup for self-hosting services, testing OSes, cybersecurity practice, and general tech tinkering. It consists of three main systems and a custom network setup.
