My Home Lab Setup!

HomeLabOverview GitHub Repo

Creating my own home lab using PfSense router/firewall solution configuring pi-hole as my DNS to block unwanted AD's. Acme for signed certificates for cloudflare and NginX Proxy. The type 1 hypervisor I will be using is ProxMox. Then to finish it all up I will be using NginX reverse proxy to link my ProxMox server to the public web and use content switching to access services that have a landing page and Apache Guacmole to have RDP access via any web browser to the various VM's that do not have a landing page for access.

This repository is more to document the various hardware and parts I am using to create my entire home lab. For detailed build instructions please click the links bellow and I will have detailed writeups on step by step install and configurations for them.
