My bedroom closet has slowly turned into my network/tool closet. Still a work in progress!
Figured I’d share my little homelab because it’s come a long way over the last few months.
It all started as “I just want Plex,” and now my bedroom closet has become my network/tool closet.
Current setup:
Dell G7 (i7-8750H, 32GB RAM) running Proxmox
Home Assistant OS
Frigate
Plex Media Server
Sonarr / Radarr / qBittorrent
Satisfactory dedicated server
NAS with ~11TB RAID 5 storage
Eaton UPS
Netgear PoE switch
SKB rack case
Cox ISP (1000/40)
Edge router 12 (not currently in use)
I’m currently working on integrating everything into Home Assistant and plan on mounting a Windows touchscreen tablet on the wall as a dashboard. The long-term goal is for it to become a “mission control” panel that shows my cameras, Plex status, Proxmox, NAS storage, server status, and smart home devices.
Still planning to add:
RustDesk server
More IP cameras
Smart thermostat
Better cable management
More automation with Home Assistant
I’m only 19, so this has been a fun project to learn Linux, Docker, Proxmox, networking, and self-hosting. I’d love to hear any suggestions for improvements or services I should add!
