Home Lab Plan

Phase 1 — establish control

  • Define production vs testing boundaries
  • Adopt a V1 remote-access model with Tailscale for admin and Cloudflare for user-facing app access
  • Define the backup strategy and restore expectations
  • Inventory the current workloads more precisely
  • Avoid adding many new services until the platform is clearer

Phase 2 — stabilize core services

  • Confirm where drive/files should live short-term
  • Confirm where photo management should live short-term
  • Decide whether Synology remains the production home for some services during transition
  • Introduce identity/access management only once the service map is clear

Phase 3 — controlled evolution

  • Evaluate Nextcloud migration path
  • Evaluate Immich migration path
  • Evaluate Authentik or equivalent
  • Review whether Proxmox should be the central app platform
  • Revisit edge/remote-access complexity and reduce overlap where possible

What Orik should track

  • infra changes
  • service locations
  • architecture decisions
  • backup changes
  • migration plans
  • risks / TODOs

Current concern

The likely failure mode is not lack of capability; it is too many overlapping tools and unclear boundaries.
