Home Lab

Introduction

The purpose of the home lab will be to provide a safe store for all of my pictures and videos. Also there will be a website to document my adventures, It will be contained within the Proxmox Server

Virtual Machines

There will be a collection of Virtual Machines, mostly Linux hosts partly because they are free but now that i have found a really cheap license seller the cost is less of a concern. Reliability is the other reason for basing the systems around Linux. The general setup is to have a Pfsense firewall at the central gateway to my network all of the rest of the servers being linked by it. There is already a Nameserver, a reverse proxy to allow access to Webservers. there will be a VPNserver to allow remote access to some Desktop VMs. There is a CA server so I can issue my own certs to the various computers that I use. There is a management kiosk that I am using to do most of the configuration, as it is not going to be easily access from outside it will keep all of the configuration inside Proxmox. More details of the VMs can be found here.

External Access

I want to allow access to some of the network from remote sites initially by SSH but also other means at a later date.

GPU PCI Pass Through

It proved impractical to do GPU PCI Pass Through with the AMD 6700xt GPU so it is being replaced with a Nvidia 5060. further details of the steps taken to do the PCI Passthrough with an Nvidia GPU can be found
