HomeLab Services Tour 2024 – What Am I Self Hosting?
#HomeLab #Services #Tour #Hosting
“Techno Tim”
What a year of self-hosting! Join me as we walk though my entire infrastructure and services that I have running in my HomeLab! This time I also include network diagrams and dive deep into which services I have running, where they are running, and why I chose them!
Network diagram created…

Impressive
I would really like to see a video on your TrueNAS set up and optimization.
Id totally be interested in a deeper dive into your homeassistant setup if that is ever something you have thought of doing
I have no clue how you remember how to use all this stuff lol. I have a small home lab and i really need ro learn how to setup infrastructure as code. Because whenever i have a problem i spend hours remembering how i have things setup then like 30 min fixing the problem.😅
Would definitely love a video on TrueNAS Scale optimizations and storage options! I have a few decent Intel NUC’s I’d like to use but having trouble figuring out a solid way to expand storage easily past 4-6 drives to keep data corruption and performance in mind 🙂
Thanks for tour. I was just thinking this week,I hope one of these guys does a breakdown of their services and how they are using them. Here comes Tim, reading my mind. Switched from Heimdall to Dashy this week and so much happier with it. Easy to setup and manage and looks great too. Highly recommended.
Tim's ISP doesnt monitor him, Tim monitors his ISP
Once Again, thanks Tim for sharing all your behind the scenes homelab.
As someone said, trully inspiring so I am getting some ideas to grow my homelab 😀
that is harassment. point it on to your house. mailbox out
I want to understand… but I don't haha.. What's the goal of all this ?
Heyyy! You are still alive after seeing your electricity bill? xDD
I would actually be really curious to get some sort of cost overview for your setup at some point though if you dont mind sharing.
This would be like coming home from my job to my other job.
What is power consumption? It seems like a lot.
This is looks insane! Not even every small/medium offices had those well structured infra. Awesome. Keep it going!
Have you ever thought about making a video with disaster recovery training? Like, trying to wipe all components, 1 by 1 (except backups, of course) or maybe all components if you are feeling that you're ready for this. Should be a lot of fun and new inspiration
Anyone know which case he has on the PiZero?
So how does one get to this level? Is there a course or anything that teaches from newby to “advanced” tier, or it just a matter of getting knowledge as you need it?
Holy moly 107 clients on Pi-Hole mine barely reaches 20 😅
Please make a TrueNAS video!
I may have missed this, but is the Home Assistant server in the IOT DMZ or one of the server segments?
Hello Tim, Happy New Year. Have you ever found it "necessary" (beneficial might be the better term) to pass network ports directly to a VM/container/kubes in Proxmox (or really any other host/hypervisor)? Meaning do you use your Nic bond for all the traffic in and out of your server or do you install other NICs so you can pass them directly? Thanks
I loved the concept of load balancing your DNS and setting one up for it and then having a physical DNS server. I was wondering about how to go about DNS redundancy in my homelab. Thank you!
I don't know if it was mentioned in the comments already, but I use Dashy instead of Dashboard. It's better in my opinion.
if your printer is on the IOT VLAN, how do you print stuff? I tried putting my Hue hub and lights on my IOT VLAN but now I cant access them through my phone app.
Hi Tim,
You mentionned Pi-hole not being the greated and that there are better solutions out there. Any alternative that comes to mind outside of AdGuard? So far, I haven't found a solution as feature rich (when fiddling with Dnsmasq config files rather than just the UI). Legit curious.
Proxmox is about to die in my homelab, because of its issues when it comes to storage latency. 😢
Will switch back to docker/Kubernetes based setups
But the segmentation I put also company devices where I don’t have administrative control into the guest network. Simply because I’m not willing to buy new switches and router just for the sake of VLANs
trunas video please
I'll come over with the 4 kids let's put that guest network profile to test 😅
Same on the guest network, we just have an open one with 5mb up/down and is isolated but no one ever asked for it, some use it but with it just being an open network no one has to ask for the password anymore.
Nas optimization video please! Also, nice vid!!!
Loving this but it's going to mean I redo the home network : ). Great video!!
Awesome video Tim. You've been an inspiration to me for the last 3 years ever since I found your channel to help get my home lab started with your Proxmox install videos. Looking forward to what you have in store for 2024!
I love your setup! Personally, I like to have hardware/software diversification at the public perimeter. If the Ubiquity hardware and/or software is compromised, it will possibly be trivial for an attacker to move all around the networks. Especially if the same device/software at the perimeter that firewalls is also the device/software that creates the VLAN's. I personally try to have a separate branded firewall or NAT router at the perimeter. To me, it is one more layer of protection that may save my bacon if one vendor is compromised. I like your presentation style and have been watching your videos for a while now. Earned a sub from me!
Great video! Thanks for sharing. I am just getting started in the homelab game and your videos and channel provide so much value and inspiration.
It'd be great if you make a video about Netboot and how you bootstrap servers with it!
Before I even get into the video , I have to tell that the THUMBNAIL is epic….!!😂🤣 SELF HOSTING ….!!!
What did you use to make your diagrams
Thanks Tim. 👍🏻👍🏻
Might be worth noting your default network mentioned it got all traffic tagged and untagged, this is the case for unifi under default settings but its not how vlan tagging actually works. Unifi does something very stupid with that in my opinion to ensure compatibility but you can change the default network port profile under profiles in unifi controller to block all vlans except the default one (id 1 in 802.1q) Then for devices like servers and other switches that are non-unifi configure and assign a port profile as a trunk with all vlans allowed that you need. This way any malicious device cant be plugged in and listen to all vlan traffic on a default port.
No Voip!😢
27:25 Your issues with SQLite are related to its datastore likely being over NFS. I've had this issue with multiple services that use SQLite and then I mount their datastores via or in an NFS share. It's a nightmare and a known problem (related to file locks). This is very true with Plex as well, in my experience… :
Thanks for the awesome Video, how are you hosting your databases? Especially for Kubernetes services, would be interesting to see.
Didn't have time for the video yet, but had to drop in and say, you nailed it on the Thumbnail! I love how it looks. ❤
