Homelab Gamer Tour 2025
Welcome to a full tour of my homelab!
In this video, I walk through my entire homelab setup from top to bottom covering networking, storage, virtualization, media, and automation.
This lab is what I use for learning, self-hosting, testing, and real-world IT scenarios, all running inside my homelab.
What’s in this homelab:
Sophos Firewall (SonicWall to XGS 107)
Managed switch with VLANs
Proxmox server (custom build, dual CPU, 192GB RAM)
Repurposed Lenovo W530 running Proxmox (currently offline)
QNAP NAS for storage & backups
TrueNAS running inside Proxmox
Docker containers
Plex Media Server
Home Assistant
UniFi Controller
HDHomeRun tuner for live TV
Gaming PC / admin workstation
Brother black and white laser printer
Dual UPS units for power protection
I also talk about why I chose certain hardware, how I handle Active Directory with VPN access, and how I isolate parts of my network using virtual firewalls.
I’ve got a memory upgrade video coming soon, so stay tuned for that!
