My homelab is a self-hosted environment where I deploy, test, and maintain personal services. Everything is securely exposed **only through a private VPN** using [Tailscale](https://tailscale.com/), ensuring encrypted, access-controlled connections across all devices. For selected services, I also use **Cloudflare Tunnels** to enable secure external access without opening ports or exposing my public IP. ## 🛠️ Running Services - **MinIO**: S3-compatible object storage for static files and backups. - **Immich**: Self-hosted photo management platform — a private alternative to Google Photos. - **Jellyfin**: Media server for streaming movies, shows, and music. - **Portainer & Docker**: Container orchestration and service management. - **Traefik**: Reverse proxy and automatic HTTPS with Let's Encrypt. - **Homepage**: A sleek dashboard to access and monitor all services. - **Proxmox**: Virtualization platform used to manage VMs and containers. - **Uptime Kuma**: Self-hosted uptime monitoring. - **Home Assistant**: Smart home automation and device integration. - **AdGuard Home**: Network-wide ad and tracker blocking via DNS. - **Beszel**: Self-hosted, lightweight alternative to Notion for notes and knowledge management. - **Palmr**: Personal logging and journaling tool. ## 🖥️ Hardware - **Beelink EQR6**: AMD Ryzen mini PC, main server host. - **TP-Link 5-port Switch**: Network connectivity for all devices. - **UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus**: 4-bay NAS, currently populated with 2 × 8TB drives for storage and backups. This homelab is a sandbox for DevOps experimentation, infrastructure reliability, and privacy-respecting digital autonomy.
