My Homelab Setup

For the longest time, I’ve procrastinated on finding a good backup and storage solution for my Fujifilm RAW files. My solution up until recently involved manually copying my photos across two external SSD drives. This was quite a hassle and I hadn’t yet figured out a good off-site backup strategy. After hearing constant news updates of how hard drive prices have been surging due to AI data center buildouts, I finally decided to purchase some hard drives and set up a homelab to meet my storage and backup needs. I also used this opportunity to explore self-hosting some apps I’ve been eager to check out.
