Self-Hosted Homelab

My personal infrastructure for data sovereignty, home automation, and media management.

Home Server Setup

Why Self-Host?

In an era of subscription services and cloud data mining, my homelab allows me to take back control of my digital life. By running my own hardware, I ensure that my personal files, security footage, and smart home data stay within my own four walls. It's a continuous project in networking, Linux administration, and cybersecurity.

What’s Running in the Lab?

Smart Home Control

Managed via HomeAssistant. This acts as the "brain" for my home, connecting lights and sensors into one private dashboard.

Private Media Streaming

Using Jellyfin to host my own movies and shows. It's like having a personal version of Netflix where I own all the data.

Security & Privacy

I run Vaultwarden for encrypted password management and AgentCT to record my IP security cameras locally.

Data Backup & Sync

Syncthing keeps my files mirrored across multiple locations, providing "offsite" protection so my data is safe even if a drive fails.
