Traefik

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This will my first project post. As such I’m posting about something which has become particularly important in my homelab. It’s called Traefik and has helped me organize everything in my homelab and make sure things are secure.

The whole point of Traefik is that it can assign a website to your internal (or external with some extra work) services. This wasn’t really an issue for a long time, but once I started having to remember 30 different IPs, I knew something had to change. Enter in Jim’s Garage’s Traefik V3 tutorial and I knew immediately I needed this for my homelab.

How's My Homelab?

Foreword

This is my first real post on my website. Since it feels special, I figured I’d post about how my home network/lab is set up.

I will say most of my knowledge comes from learning out of Youtube, so here are a few channels I usually look at when I’m trying to figure something out.

Overview

Here’s a general list of what I’m running in my home lab

About

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

I’m Dillon, a datacenter technician and aspiring software engineer based in the Kenosha, WI area. I hold a B.S. in Computer Science from Northern Illinois University. I spend a lot of my free time running an extensive homelab — Proxmox, TrueNAS, UniFi networking, self-hosted media, the works. It’s part hobby, part skill-builder, and it’s taught me more than I could have learned any other way. My GitHub has projects ranging from a RISC-V CPU simulator in C++ to work across Python, Java, and JavaScript.
