I will breakdown the steps of creating a homelab of your very own without breaking your budget. This guide can be customized to meet your own unique and individual needs. You can horizontally and vertically scale to add more performance, or adjust the role of different components to increase, decrease, or eliminated high-availability depending on your own individual needs. At the same time, all of the components of this environment, with a small bit of effort can be repurposed to other projects, given shifts in your interests, hobbies, and needs.
