Welcome to Ehsan Homelab
Basic to Enterprise grade Homelab
For IT or Telco industry use
This is the place where you embark on your journey to building your very own homelab. Together, we will explore the intricacies of research and development in the homelab environment and rise above the challenges of setting up a cutting-edge homelab.
Latest Blog Posts
Tips, walkthroughs, and tutorials from my homelab experience.
Minimum to Enterprise grade hardware
We discuss the hardware requirements in 3 packages including minimum, small-size and enterprise-grade.
Required Software
Lets determine the software requirements for different goals here in the blog.
Cybersecurity Architecture
Todays hot topic is how to keep everything in the network safe. let review the two different security architectures and practice them in our lab before performing those in a live network.
Operating System
I will recommend that which OS would suits your goal the best for different role in the homelab. Having OS variety would be also a cool practice in the lab.
Network Architecture
Designing a well planned network architecture is a prerequisite to have a growing lab and match it with the real market. in this blog we dig a lot in to this topic.
VPN designing
Having remote access to this lab is vital to maintain it and for show casing. This blog explain the best practice of designing and deploying a VPN server and client architecture.
