This is the current state of my homelab, updated in July 2026. It runs applications I rely on every day - from monitoring to location tracking and smart home stuff.

Software
I am running a Kubernets cluster (Talos OS) on my 3 NABs with Cilium, MetalLB, VIP for high availability. Everything is managed through git with ArgoCD achieving 100% infrastructure as code. As I previously mentioned my router is running on OpenWRT (what else). The NAS is - for now - based on UNRAID but I got future plans to either switch to TrueNAS or provision my own solution via ZFS on a plain Debian or so when prices for HDDs and SSDs may drop.
Every piece of hardware and nearly every piece of software feeds into VictoriaMetrics and Grafana for observation. I got around 41 applications running on my cluster (I swear everything serves a purpose). The NAS is mounted via SMB CSI in Kubernetes and stores all media files. A Jellyfin is running with Intel QSV hardware encoding. The k8s cluster also provisions Ceph via Rook for application storage.
