Homelab

My homelab is two servers running around 20 services, which adds up to almost 40 docker containers, basically everything I use day to day. It’s where I get to live out my enthusiasm for Linux and networking and I learn something new with every service I add. This is what runs on it right now:

Btw yes I do know that the FritzBox being between my ISP and the CCR2004 is very inefficent but unfortenately im bound by my ISP and since I dont have fiber I would’ve needed a modem anyway. If I ever get blessed with fiber though the SFP+ ports on the CCR2004 will definetly get used. If you live in Switzerland definetly use Init7 and not Monopolycom.

Service	What I use it for
Immich	photos
Paperless	documents
Jellyfin	completly legally optained movies and anime :)
Navidrome	music streaming also very legally optained ._.
Forgejo	git hosting, mostly just backup and archival of mine and other repos

Ziit	coding stats, one of my own project
Rybbit	analytics for my websites
Uptime Kuma	uptime monitoring

Databasus	database backups
Zerobyte	backups of everything else
Dockhand	managing all the docker stuff
Bambuddy	managing my Bambu Lab 3D printers without the cloud
ExcaliDash	a dashboard for my Excalidraw stuff
LaraPaper	the backend for my TRMNL e-ink display
qBittorrent, qui and gluetun	torrents, with all of its traffic going through a VPN
4get	a privacy friendly search engine
Caddy	reverse proxy

I recently redid my whole network around a MikroTik CCR2004 and split everything into VLANs so that these are properly separated:

• users
• servers
• IoT devices

On top of that come some firewall rules that I set up on purpose. Everything that’s publicly reachable goes through a Hetzner VPS and that caddy reverse proxy with a WireGuard tunnel back home.

After buying my first MikroTik device and with the CCR2004 not exactly being cheap (334.05 CHF or $401) I have to say that I regret no part of it. Their software is so well made and you do really have full control of the device.
