Proxmox HomeLab

Personal Project

  • Configured Proxmox on both Intel and AMD platforms, configured for IOMMU and VFIO, to give 9 virtual instances access to physical devices, with near-native performance
  • Reduce time to spin up or duplicate an environment 50%+
  • Can quickly switch hardware from one instance to another, with 0 downtime to unrelated instances
  • Deployed instance of OpenWRT with direct PCI-E pass-through of platform NICs, that supports 10 physical clients and 6 virtual clients, and blocks 14k malicious DNS queries per day using PiHole
    • Same instance also supports a complex WireGuard VPN configuration that is a hybrid site-to-site / site-to-remote, and extends PiHole coverage to remote scenarios, with a total of 6 endpoints
  • Serve Windows 11 instance configured with VFIO GPU and NVME PCIe pass-through and tuned for performance
    • So little latency added that playing competitive FPS video-games is comfortable, functional G-SYNC and 60 FPS
