Infrastructure / an ongoing project

The homelab.

A place to run useful services and understand what happens underneath them.

Last documented: 18 Aug 2026 · Public overview, not a live inventory.

How the pieces fit

01 / Access

Public & private paths

Public website → Cloudflare Tunnel → Nginx → static files.

Tailscale provides private remote access.

02 / Workloads

Two different jobs

Proxmox runs VMs and LXCs. The Debian media VM owns media storage and runs Plex and Jellyfin.

The Pi keeps lightweight services separate from main-server maintenance.

03 / Visibility

Watch the basics

Beszel for host metrics. Uptime Kuma for availability. Glances and Dozzle for investigation.

Storage & recovery

Media storage moved from TrueNAS to Debian, alongside Plex and Jellyfin. Jellyfin uses read-only media mounts with separate configuration.

The published notes do not establish a complete backup schedule or restore-test history. Those details remain to be documented; read-only mounts are not backups.

What this map leaves out

Private addresses, internal hostnames, credentials, and admin endpoints stay out of public documentation. Service names describe roles, not an invitation to access them.

VM/LXC placement and per-service access rules are only shown where the existing documentation establishes them.
