This is the setup that runs my entire digital life: storage, media, automation, cameras, networking, and everything in between. What started as a spare-parts Plex box slowly grew into a fully virtualized cluster running Proxmox, TrueNAS, OPNsense, Home Assistant, Frigate, Tailscale, and a whole lot more. In this video, I break down every node, every service, and every part of the network that holds this system together. If you have ever wanted to build your own home lab or turn your house into a personal data center, this is the deep dive. 💬 Discuss this video: Coming soon… 🖥️ Hardware Featured in the Video Proxmox Node 1 — Ryzen 5 3600, RTX 3060, TrueNAS VM Proxmox Node 2 — i9 9900K, multi-NIC routing stack Proxmox Node 3 — Intel N97 utility node Proxmox Node 4 — Ryzen 5 3600, RTX 3060 for Frigate Proxmox Node 5 — Ryzen 5 3600 test bench Offsite Node — Dell OptiPlex + Wyse 3040 (Tailscale) Switching: UniFi US-24, Flex , YuanLey PoE Wireless: UniFi 6 Plus Routing: OpenWRT + OPNsense (virtualized) 🔧 Key Services Covered Plex Media Server TrueNAS + ZFS Pools Frigate NVR Home Assistant + ESPHome sensors Tailscale remote access OPNsense firewall + VLANs Nextcloud (in progress) Automation tools, 3D printer monitoring, and more
