homelab-notes's Introduction

homelab-notes

This is where I share my personal knowledge base on self-hosting and other homelab topics.

While I've tried to make all walkthroughs as accurate as possible, some notes are incomplete and are presented for now as starting off points.
I actually use these notes myself and they get synced to GitHub when I make changes. As I revisit an install I often update the note I'm using to make it better. Some notes I won't really touch again since I don't use that particular service again.
I use Obsidian as a note taking app and although it is based on Markdown there may be some formatting that is specific to that app.
- Some notes have links to other notes like this [[GitHub]] which is Obsidian specific. Although I'm sharing my notes I still need them for my own use so you will often see me pointing to a different file that I need to know about. Some of those notes will be available to you and some won't. Just look around for the note in what is shared here.
- Most notes will have a file creation and modified date on the top which is autocreated from an extension in Obsidian and many dates are wrong anyways because I only recently installed that extension. Just ignore.
In my lab I name my stuff after MST3k characters and places. Some things may be confusing without knowing that:
- Deep-13 is my zpool name
- Tom-Servo, Crow and Gypsy are the names of my servers
Although it's wasn't my aim to do so, it's entirely possible that someone else's words ended up in my notes somewhere since I take what I find that works and go off of that. As for my notes anyone is allowed to use anything for free and without attribution.

I hope I can help out some rookies with these notes. Send me a message here or email me at [email protected] if you have any questions you'd like answered or even tips about what you think I'm doing wrong.
