Homelab

Managing a homelab often involves a lot of manual repetition: spin up a container, add a DNS record in Pi-hole, then create a proxy host in Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM).

Homelab Infrastructure # This document outlines the internal infrastructure of the wompmacho homelab. The lab is built on a high-speed 10GbE backbone and utilizes a hybrid architecture of dedicated NAS storage, Proxmox virtualization, and containerized services for media, self-hosting, and development.

What is linkstacks? # Linkstacks is a nice little linktr.ee clone that allows you to set up a simple link page. It can also be expanded to add multiple users and you can host multiple people’s pages with their own user accounts and everything.

What is homepage? # homepage is an open-source, highly customizable, and static site-based dashboard designed to organize your self-hosted services into a beautiful, central hub.

What is homarr? # homarr is a nice little dashboard app that can be used to organize your homelab with a simple webpage interface. Great for Quick links, updates on weather, time, seeing if a server is down, monitoring your webcams or torrents, etc.

IP Address # An Internet Protocol address (IP) address is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. Think of it like a street address for your computer on the internet. It’s how devices find each other and exchange information.

What is Docker? # Docker is an awesome platform that anyone hoping to get into software / development or any homelab-er should become familiar with. Docker is a platform designed to help developers build, share, and run container applications. The most important aspect to docker is its ability to be implemented in version control via simple config files. This allowing a team of people to share a code base working in the same environments consistently.
