Have you ever wondered if it’s possible to build a professional yet flexible network environment at home? This session will walk you through how to create a fully open source, controllable, and secure home network setup from scratch. Topics include installing and configuring a router with OpenWRT, building a NAS with OpenMediaVault, and securely exposing your self-hosted services to the outside world.
We’ll also cover practical tools like Tailscale for zero-config mesh VPN, Cloudflare Tunnel for secure and easy public access, Proxmox for flexible virtualization, IP KVM for remote hardware control, and various useful self-hosted services such as private cloud storage, VPNs, and communication platforms.
By the end of this talk, you’ll understand how these tools can work together to form a powerful, private, and maintainable open source home network environment—ideal for both beginners and advanced users interested in self-hosting, open source technologies, and home IT infrastructure.
