Homelab

The network and servers I run at home: how they're linked, how the VLANs split them up, and what runs where.

TODO(rohit): everything on this page is example data until the real devices, VLANs and services are in src/data/homelab.ts

Example switch
Carries every VLAN
Example server
Runs the example services
Example access point
Wifi for the clients
Example laptop
An everyday client

Services

Example service one
A placeholder until the real list is in. Runs on Example server.
Example service two
Another placeholder. Runs on Example server.
