+# Homelabbing: 2026 Edition
+
+---
+
+<!-- footer: "" -->
+
+## What is homelabbing?
+
+---
+
+## Why would you want to self-host?
+
+- Learn & Experiment
+  - Security?
+  - Networking?
+- Privacy & Control
+- Cost Savings (debatable)
+

+
+## Great! But I don't have any hardware...
+
+- This is slightly more difficult in the big '26
+- Old desktops/laptops
+  - Ebay
+  - Goodwill
+  - Facebook Marketplace - Massanutten Tech
+- Cheap SBC
+  - Raspberry Pi
+  - OrangePi Zero 4
+  - RockPro64
+  - ODROID-H4
+- VPS
+- ESP-32 (ESPHome)
+
+---
+
+## Challenges of Homelabbing
+
+- Security & Maintenance
+  - Storage Redundancy
+- Network Configuration
+- Learning Curve - lots of new concepts
+
+---
+
+## RAID
+
+![bg contain RAID Diagram](./raid.png)
+
+---
+
+## ZFS
+
+- Similar modes to RAID - different names
+- Auto-fixing corruption with checksums
+- CoW - safer from power loss
+- Instant snapshots
+- Typically more performant (compression + caching)
+
+---
+
+## Services
+
+- Immich <https://demo.immich.app>
+- Wakapi
+- Home Assistant
+- Streaming
+  - Jellyfin
+  - Plex
+  - \*arr suite
+- Dawarich
+- Game Servers
+
+---
+
+## Homelab Interfaces
+
+- CasaOS
+- Proxmox
+- TrueNAS
+- Portainer
+- NixOS...

+
+## NixOS
+
+<!-- footer: "Slides by  Nicolas Cicchi - https://github.com/nmcicchi" -->
+
+---
+
+## Why NixOS for Homelabbing?
+
+- Declarative Infrastructure: Entire OS & services configured in code, you can forget all your commands
+- GitOps Ready: Keep your whole homelab state versioned in Git
+- Fearless Experimentation: Try new software without polluting your host OS with nix-shell
+
+---
+
+## What Makes NixOS Better & Easier?
+
+- Instant Rollbacks: Reboot into a working state in < 10 seconds if an update breaks
+- Reproducible: Spin up a second server using the exact same config
+- No Config Drift: What's in the config is what's running—nothing more, nothing less

+## Example nix module
+
+```nix
+{ fleetSettings, ... }: {
+  virtualisation.oci-containers = {
+    backend = "podman";
+    containers = {
+
+      # Original Hypermind
+      hypermind = {
+        image = "ghcr.io/lklynet/hypermind:latest";
+        # use host networking for Hyperswarm DHT to find peers
+        extraOptions = [ "--network=host" ];
+        environment = {
+          PORT = toString fleetSettings.sequoia.ports.hypermind;
+          ENABLE_CHAT = "true";
+          ENABLE_MAP = "true";
+        };
+      };
+
+      # Hypermind Swarm
+      hypermind-swarm = {
+        image = "ghcr.io/lklynet/hypermind-swarm:latest";
+        extraOptions = [ "--network=host" ];
+        environment = {
+          PORT = toString fleetSettings.sequoia.ports.hyperswarm;
+        };
+      };
+    };
+  };
+}

+## Exposing Your Services to the Internet
+
+<!--reverse proxy (cloudflare, playit, oracle (wireguard), ) vs tailscale-->
+
+- Tailscale
+- Reverse Proxy
+
+---
+
+<!--footer: "¹: Jellyfin/Plex against ToS"-->
+
+## Reverse Proxy Options
+
+- Game Servers (Playit or Oracle)
+- Web Services (Cloudflare Tunnel¹ or Oracle)
+  - Cloudflare: Need Domain
+  - Oracle: Can use domain, may need credit card to get access
+    - More complex to set up (wireguard setup for web, manual NAT with iptables for game servers)
+    - Need a tutorial to navigate the Oracle Cloud UI
+    - Wireguard

+
+## How to get started
+
+- Define your goals (what and why do you want to host?)
+  - <https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted>
+- Start with the hardware you have (or buy some very cheap, used hardware)
+- Learn as you go (break things and learn to fix them)
