Three-node Proxmox cluster powering my digital workspace
Experimentation meets reliable operations: each node has a distinct purpose, but they are designed to work together so critical services stay resilient while I test new ideas.
Node 1: N-Serv001
N-Serv001 is the backbone node handling general-purpose compute. With GPU passthrough available, it accelerates workloads that benefit from hardware offloading while keeping everyday services running smoothly.
Key specs
- Intel Core i7-3770S
- 16 GB RAM
- 3 TB Storage
- GPU Passthrough
Services hosted
Node 2: N-Serv002
This is the powerhouse of the lab, responsible for Jellyfin and storage-heavy workloads. The combination of 8 cores and generous RAM keeps streaming responsive for the entire household.
Node 3: N-Serv003
The lightweight node that hosts websites, including this homepage, and monitoring dashboards. It keeps web workloads separate from heavier services without wasting power.

Together, the nodes form an environment where I can host reliable services, keep family media streaming uninterrupted, and still have room for experimentation. Monitoring moved from Upptime to Grafana to capture richer metrics across the cluster.
Grafana now powers monitoring across the entire homelab.
