# 🏠 Homelab

I have been tinkering around networking stuff lately for the purpose of learning and to have my own private server at home since all of the big techs are taking away our privacy especially now with the rise of AI. While doing this, I thought of publishing my setup for future reference and to share it to the community as well.

Inspired by https://github.com/mischavandenburg/homelab, this repo contains all of the configuration and documentation of my homelab.

## 🔧 Hardware

### Synology NAS

For the past three years, I've been utilising my Synology NAS as a reliable home server. It efficiently manages and stores all my files and apps, allowing me remote access and share files with family and friends via the internet.

- DS420+ with 2.0 GHz CPU, 2GB RAM

- 10TB Seagate SATA Main drive

- 10TB Seagate SATA Backup drive

### Macbook

I have also setup some docker containers for some of the apps that I think would require more RAM than my NAS (ie. ollama LLMs)

- Apple M3 Pro

- 32GB RAM

- 500GB HD
