Project Map

Map Overview:

So you've decided to setup a homelab! Maybe you've got a budget, maybe you were given some gear, either way it can be difficult to know where to start when once decided you want a homelab. You may have an end-goal in mind or perhaps not. This page hopes to give a general list of some of the common projects homelabbers take on. The idea is to show projects and their dependencies so that you know what you need to do to get where you're going. Each project will provide guides and resources you can use to complete them. Projects are titled very generically, each project will list a few options and some of the pros/cons for those options. Ex: "Setup a router" Includes a guide for setting up a pfSense router but also information about setting up Untangle and Sophos routers as well.
