HomeLab

HomeLab

My homelab has changed a bunch over the years, but currently (Feb 2025) it looks like the following:

  • A raspberry pi running Pi-Hole for network-level ad-blocking
  • A miniPC running Home Assistant for local home automation
  • tailscale on all devices, primarily to use Pi-Hole for DNS while out of the house and also to access Home Assistant while out of the house

I’ve basically had these three components in various forms over time; previous iterations used non-FOSS home automation, different degrees of containerization, and a variety of VPN services.
