One of the main things I host is my personal website, this one, which gives me a place online to share information about myself and my interests. I also run my own DNS, which helps me better understand how websites and networks find each other. Along with that, I host Kiwix for offline access to information and Homebridge to connect smart home devices to Apple HomeKit. My homelab is a hands-on way for me to learn about servers, networking, virtualization, backups, and self-hosting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home Lab My homelab is made up of three servers, each have their own job.
