I created this repository to store information on my homelab and most of my devices I use publicly. I also like having things documented publicly in the case I forget specs on certain devices, etc. and I can't access the device (e.g. I'm away from home).
I have a fairly large homelab with two active servers and two retired ones, including my old gaming desktop.
- Intel i7-13700K @ 3.4 GHz Base Clock (16 cores and 24 threads)
- 64 GBs of DDR4 RAM
- 1 x 4 TBs NVMe SSD (Samsung 990 Pro)
- 2 x 3 TBs HDDs (7200 RPM)
- 1 x 12 TBs External HDD Via USB
- 1 x 2.5 gbps NIC
- Liquid-cooled with an Arctic Freezer III 360mm AIO (radiator mounted as intake)!
Runs Debian 12 with KVM and QEMU for VMs, VLANs, and more.
NOTE - A big con with this server is the CPU is very power hungry. I may undervolt the CPU in the future so it consumes less power, but it's fine for my needs right now and I require the high single-threaded performance for some things I use it for such as LAN packet generation/pen-testing. The CPU itself was fairly cheap and beat processors with more cores/threads at $100 - $200 more performance-wise.
Here's the output from lshw -short.

I was able to achieve 5.3 GHz on all P-cores (performance) and 4.2 GHz on E-cores (efficiency) while under 70C CPU temperature using the stress -c 24 command on Debian 12!
Here's a screenshot showing the clock speeds of each CPU while stress-testing.
The idle temperatures are really great also!
Lastly, here's a picture I took while building the server. The wire management is cleaner now!
NOTE - I definitely didn't need a 850W PSU, but I might revamp the motherboard and get a GPU in the future which would require it.
- AMD Ryzen 5 3600 @ 3.6 GHz (6 cores and 12 threads)
- 32 GBs of DDR4 RAM
- 1 x 2 TBs NVMe SSD (Samsung 970 EVO)
- 1 x 1 TBs SATA SSD (Samsung 860)
- 1 x 2 TBs HDD
- 1 x 1 Gbps NIC
- 1 x 10 Gbps NIC - Not Attached
Runs Proxmox for virtual machines, VLANs, and more.

NOTE - Horrible wire management in this picture, but it has been improved since then.

NOTE - Turned into a gaming desktop.
I have three Raspberry Pi Model B units that I like experimenting with. I've also purchased a sensor kit for these Raspberry Pi units and hope to create a weather station with them at some point in the future!
I have two mini-PCs I use for various purposes including streaming, testing, and more.
Unfortunately Raspberry Pi units aren't the best for streaming, so I've found the mini-PCs to be better for that use case.
I have a Grafana server listening on a VM on one of my home servers with InfluxDB and Prometheus as data sources. The Grafana VM's main OS is installed onto an SSD, but the data from Prometheus and InfluxDB are stored on an HDD due to having a lot more space.
All of my home servers, VMs, routers, and networks report statistics to the Grafana server as seen below!
In early 2026, I decided to purchase a Protectli Vault V1210 from Amazon here.
This includes an Intel NIC with 2 x 2.5 gbps ports which is fine for my local network needs. Additionally, it is designed for running custom router software such as OPNsense, which is what I'm running on it. I have multiple VLANs setup for my home servers, WiFi, and more. I've also setup logging and statistics to a Grafana server I have hosted on a VM on one of my home servers (see above).
I have an EdgeSwitch8 that all servers go through which handles VLAN tagging and untagging.
I have a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi router that acts as an access point, but has the option for creating your own LAN.
I have a powerful gaming desktop that I use as my main PC, development work, and general use such as gaming. I have Windows 11 installed, and I use VS Code and its Remote extension for developing projects on my home servers in VMs running Linux.
- AMD Ryzen 9 5900X @ 3.7 GHz (12 cores and 24 threads)
- RTX 3090 TI
- 64 GBs of DDR4 RAM
- 1 x 4 TBs NVMe SSD (WD Black SN850X)
- 1 x 2 TBs NVMe SSD (Samsung 980 PRO)
- 1 x 1 Gbps NIC
I've had a few laptops over the years that have ran various Linux distributions including:
- Linux Mint (old laptop)
- CachyOS & Arch with Hyprland (my current laptop and broken laptop's setup)
- Fedora 39, 40, and 41
- Ubuntu 22.04 - 24.04
- Nobara
Italics = Currently used.
I had an Acer Nitro 16 that included an RTX 4060 and a decent AMD CPU with integrated graphics. However, the charging port kept having recurring issues and after sending it back for a repair once, the same issue happened again shortly afterwards. Eventually I ended up using its 65W USB-C power delivery port which was fine for my needs. However, this didn't even last a few months sadly.
I finally ended up buying a new one with an Intel processor which includes an RTX 5070 (not a big difference sadly, but gaming laptop prices just suck in general).
I have an ASUS TUF Gaming A17 laptop with Ubuntu 22.04 installed that I use for development work and general use. I don't do much gaming on it unless I'm away from my home, but it handles most games just fine!
I had an EdgeRouter X running EdgeOS software. I had each home server and WiFi on their own /24 VLANs and still do on the newer router.
This router bricked after attempting a firmware upgrade. It was replaced with the router mentioned above.
Around late September of 2023, I decided to purchase an HP EliteDesk 800 Thin Client and install Proxmox onto the host with a VM created with OPNsense installed to act as my main router. Unfortunately, USB to Ethernet drivers are very inefficient in OPNsense/FreeBSD (very slow speeds, in my case) which is why I ended up virtualizing the router via Proxmox, KVM, and QEMU. I've attached two TP-Link USB To Ethernet adapters to the server so that I have a total of three NICs to utilize. The on-board NIC is assigned to WAN while one of the USB to Ethernet adapters is used for LAN. The last USB to Ethernet adapter is used for management. I've configured multiple VLANs for my home servers, WiFi, and more. I've also setup logging and statistics to a Grafana server I have hosted on a VM on one of my home servers.
I also understand using USB to Ethernet adapters isn't recommended, but I haven't had any issues with them speed-wise and they are capable of achieving gigabit speeds which is the most I really need in my LAN environment.
Here's the output from lshw -short on the Proxmox host.
