# Homelab Setup

## Overview
Setting up a personal homelab using a ThinkPad laptop running Arch Linux to move away from cloud providers like Google.

## Goals
- [x] Linux installation (Arch Linux on ThinkPad)
- [x] SSH remote access (hostname: homelab)
- [ ] Network domain setup
- [ ] Self-hosted cloud storage (ownCloud/Nextcloud)
- [ ] Self-hosted git repository (Gitea/Forgejo/GitLab)
- [ ] Gradual migration from commercial cloud services

## Hardware
- **Main Server**: ThinkPad laptop
- **Development**: Windows PC with WSL (for AI experimentation)

## Inspiration & Resources

  - Need to collect tips and inspiration from this video

## Current Status
- ✅ Arch Linux installed on ThinkPad
- ✅ SSH access configured (accessible as `homelab`)
- Next: Set up dotfiles and begin service planning
