Setup

My current workstation + homelab setup, in one place.

Overview Hardware Software Workflow Homelab Wiring

Source of truth

I update this page when I actually change gear, tooling, or topology.

Repos behind it

dotfiles for workstation automation and home.io for homelab IaC.

How to use

Setup Overview

This is my single source of truth for what I run every day. I keep it practical and update it when I actually change something.

Workstation automation lives in dotfiles.
Homelab infrastructure lives in home.io.
Goal: fast workflow, repeatable rebuilds, and less guesswork when things break.

Hardware

Computers

Sherlock (primary desktop)

Sherlock is my main desk machine. Custom build, dual-boot Windows 11 + Linux.

RAM	G.SKILL Trident Z Neo 64GB
Motherboard	ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero
Cooler	ASUS ROG Ryujin 240 AIO
Case	Lian Li O11D Mini
Fans	Lian Li UNI Fan SL 120
Storage	Samsung 980 PRO NVMe (1TB + 500GB)
PSU	Cooler Master V850 SFX Gold

MacBooks

Displays

I currently run mostly on a single ultrawide for focus.

Samsung 49in CRG9 (primary)
Viotek 27in curved
HP P224 21.5in

Peripherals

Keyboard: ZSA Moonlander, custom Dvorak layout (ORYX config).
Mouse: Logitech MX Master 3.
Microphone: Rode NT-USB+.
Webcams: Logitech C925E + Logitech C922.
Headphones: Sony WH-1000XM5.
Speakers: Creative T100.

Software Workflow

Terminal-first session flow

I spend most of my time in terminal sessions:

Terminal: Ghostty
Session manager: sesh
Multiplexer: tmux (+ resurrect/continuum)

I usually hit <prefix>-o, fuzzy-find where I need to be, and let sesh attach/create the session.

For tmux navigation I use Ctrl+hjkl (via vim-tmux-navigator), and I sync panes when I need to run parallel commands.

Editor + shell stack

Editor: Neovim with LSP, Treesitter, Telescope.
Shell: zsh + powerlevel10k + custom functions for git/k8s/remote edit workflows.
Infra tools: Terraform, Terragrunt, Helm, kubectl, cloud CLIs.

Window management

I use a cell-based layout with summon keys, not traditional manual tiling.

On Linux this runs through AwesomeWM automation; on macOS through Hammerspoon. Same mental model across both.

Agent workflow tooling

Claude Code with custom hooks and status integration in tmux.
oh-my-claude for sane defaults and repeatable workflows.
openkanban for tracking parallel agent sessions.
MCP servers for browser checks/docs/context plumbing.

Homelab

My homelab is built for repeatability, not hand-tuned snowflakes.

Hardware at a glance

Component	Specs
Compute	Dell PowerEdge R720xd (40 threads, 256GB ECC RAM)
Network	UniFi UDM Pro + U7 AP
Storage	UNAS Pro 8
Edge	Raspberry Pi 4B (8GB)

Architecture

Proxmox VE hosts a 3-node Talos Kubernetes cluster.
GitOps via ArgoCD.
Traefik ingress + HA Cloudflare tunnels.
MetalLB, Pi-hole DNS, local + NFS-backed storage patterns.

Workloads + rebuild path

I run 25+ services including Immich, dashboards, self-hosted runners, and an observability stack.

Everything is declarative through home.io using Terraform + Ansible + ArgoCD. If I lose a node, I rebuild from git.
