Homelab Hardware Tour 2026 Edition

This is a full tour of my homelab which runs KTZ Systems and most of my digital life. I walk through the network, Proxmox and Ceph cluster, storage servers, cameras, core services and local AI hardware. It may not be the neatest rack on YouTube, but it is real, reliable and built to do a job.

The setup includes Lenovo Tiny PCs, UniFi networking, a PiKVM, Framework Desktop, ZimaBoard and a large ZFS media server.
