Repository: github.com/funkybooboo/homelab

A comprehensive homelab infrastructure managed entirely as code, demonstrating DevOps best practices and infrastructure automation at scale.

Key Features

  • Infrastructure-as-Code: Entire environment reproducible and version-controlled
  • Containerized Services: Docker and Kubernetes orchestration for self-hosted applications
  • Workflow Automation: n8n-based automation eliminating repetitive tasks
  • Network Security: VLANs, firewall rules, and Tailscale VPN for secure remote access
  • Self-Hosted Applications: Media servers, monitoring tools, development environments

Technology Stack

  • Containerization: Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes
  • Automation: n8n workflows, Bash scripting
  • Networking: Tailscale VPN, VLAN configuration, firewall management
  • Storage: Network-attached storage (NAS) setup
  • Hardware: Raspberry Pi automation systems, Tor relay node

Learning Outcomes

This project serves as a practical learning ground for infrastructure concepts, allowing hands-on experience with:

  • Container orchestration and service mesh architectures
  • Network segmentation and security hardening
  • Automated deployment pipelines
  • Infrastructure monitoring and observability
  • Disaster recovery and backup strategies
