# Homelab Overview

## Homelab

### What the Goal is.

My Goal with this project is to explore and create my own testing/working environment.

### What I needed.

I don't need any of it per say but I have gained a lot of "toys" already. In the breakdown page I go over my whole setup.

### What I learned.

1. NAS technology: I started with 8x6Tb WD Reds in raid 6 using MDADM with cronjobs to scrub and SMART reports. Now I have 15x6Tb WD Reds in a TrueNAS Scale system that has very little manipulation.
2. Backup Batteries: How to work with CyberPower batteries and their CLI Tool. I have made a script that will shut down one of the IBM SystemX's if the battery on the UPS goes below 50%.
3. Headless Debain: 
4. Nginx: Making reverse proxy and making subdomains for my services

5. Self-Hosted Cloud: 
6. Self-Hosted Bitwarden:
