About This Home Lab

This homelab is my private network with some public-facing services. Each component deserves it’s own post so I will try to tame my autism here.

Hardware & Infrastructure

There are 3 devices that make up the network.

• AT&T BGW320-500 Router
• A 2018 Levono ThinkCentre Tiny PC running OpenBSD as a reverse proxy
• A 2010 Gateway ZX4800 desktop PC running Alpine Linux which runs most of the services

List of Websites:

• git.hodgden.net
  • A front-end view of my Git repositories using CGit.
• chr.hodgden.net
  • My personal website where I blog about tutorials and projects using Hugo.
• dev.hodgden.net
  • Used for development/preview purposes.

List of Public-Facing Services:

• HTTP/HTTPS using Lighttpd
  • Serves websites listed above.
  • Serves git-cloning over http with git http-backend.
• Git using CGit & the git-scm git-daemon
  • The public facing git repositories can be browsed at git.hodgden.net.
  • These repositories can be cloned over the git-daemon protocol or over http.
    • git clone git://hodgden.net/demo_repo.git

List of Private Services:

• SSH/SFTP using OpenSSH
  • Used for back-end access
  • Used for file sharing across devices using rsync
