I’m building my own Homelab!

Last year, I set up a Network Attached Storage (NAS) as a secure, central storage solution:

  • ✅ Accessible across devices
  • ✅ Automatic backups
  • ✅ Personal cloud

Since then, my little project has grown a lot:

  • Enhanced with tools like an ad-blocker, a bookmark manager, document management, and photo library software.
  • Experiments with more complex applications (e.g., n8n, Flowise) are possible thanks to the ease of deployment with containers.

👉 Now I’m taking it to the next level: building a powerful yet energy-efficient server to separate important services from experiments and to gain hands-on experience in infrastructure & virtualization.

The hardware setup:

  • Intel i5 14400 CPU
  • 64 GB DDR5 RAM
  • ASRock 760M Pro RS mainboard
  • Noctua NH-L9x65 CPU cooler
  • be quiet! Pure Power 550W PSU
  • 2x Lexar NM790 2 TB NVME SSD
  • be quiet! Silent Base 601

Description

I’ll be running Proxmox to manage virtual machines on the server.

My goal: dive deeper into MLOps—from data acquisition & preprocessing to model training & deployment, and all the way to monitoring & automated adjustments. I am thrilled by the learning opportunities here.
