====== 🚀 TorresVault 2.0 — Planned Architecture & Upgrades ====== TorresVault 2.0 is the next major evolution of your home-lab ecosystem — moving from “just a bunch of servers” to a fully unified, resilient, automated platform. This page tracks **planned upgrades**, **future architecture goals**, and the long-term roadmap for TorresVault. ---- ===== 🧱 Core Infrastructure Goals ===== **• Full Mini-PC Proxmox Cluster** - 3 × mini-PC nodes (NVMe + 2.5GbE/10GbE capable) - Redundant cluster (no more single-points) - Future Kubernetes workload support **• NAS Upgrade (High-Capacity PVE NAS)** - ASRock X570D4U-2L2T - Ryzen 7 5700G - 16 × 6TB SAS drives - Dual LSI HBAs - Fractal Design Define 7 XL - Goal: Reliable, quiet, and long-lived storage backend **• 10GbE Backbone Expansion** - Dual Intel X550 NICs - Remove legacy NIC issues - 10GbE connection between NAS ↔ PVE cluster **• IPMI Everywhere** - Remote KVM - Hardware monitoring - No more “walk to the server closet” moments ---- ===== 🧩 Virtualization & Compute ===== **• Move Most Docker VMs → Kubernetes (Gradual Migration)** Services to migrate later: - Grafana/Prometheus - NPM (maybe, after stability) - n8n - Internal tools **• Keep Some Apps as VMs (Failure-Domain Isolation)** - Home Assistant - Nextcloud - Jellyfin - Pi-hole pair - NPM (for now) **• GPU Node (Jarvis AI Box)** - RTX 3060 or similar - Local LLMs (Ollama / vLLM) - Home Assistant Voice integration - TTS/STT (Whisper, Piper) - Long-term goal: **Jarvis-style local assistant** ---- ===== 🌐 Network Modernization ===== **• TorresVault Network 2.0 Goals:** * Fast Roaming WiFi * VLAN separation (IoT, Cameras, Trusted, Media, Servers) * DNS: Pi-hole VIP (already in place) * NPM reverse proxy clean-up * Tailnet/ZeroTier/Cloudflare Zero Trust (optional future) **• Add NUT UPS Network Shutdown** - 2 UPS units (Office + Network Closet) - rPDU-aware controlled shutdown - Protect cluster + NAS ---- ===== 🔧 Home Assistant Ecosystem Expansion ===== **• Replace Echo devices with Home Assistant Voice** - Office proof-of-concept → whole-home rollout **• BLE Room-Level Tracking (Pi Zero + ESPHome)** - Track laptop bag, wallet, keys, badge - Car BLE tracker triggers TTS “forgot item” alerts **• Dashboard 2.0** - Standardized template - Swipe navigation everywhere - Multi-tablet control stations (cameras, network, office control) ---- ===== 🎄 Torres Family Lights — 2025/2026 Goals ===== **• Expand Pixel Show Hardware** - Add snowflakes / new roofline sections - Add matrix extension or new props - Add second-year playlist rotation logic - New FPP automations **• FPP Integration Improvements** - More robust status detection - Automated playlist recovery - WLED “notification mode” for show issues ---- ===== 📦 Storage & Data Goals ===== **• ZFS Storage Pools** - Finalize pool layout - Add metadata SSDs - Add striped slog/arc (optional) **• Centralized Backups** - PBS node - Nightly snapshot rotation - Offsite sync (rclone → cloud?) **• File Services** - Move family data → NAS - Move media storage → NAS - Photo management (Immich?) - Nextcloud cleanup ---- ===== 🧭 Long-Term Vision ===== TorresVault 2.0 is not just hardware — it’s a **self-healing**, **local-first**, **secure**, automation-driven smart-home + homelab platform. **Long-term direction includes:** * Full Kubernetes cluster running on mini-PCs * Central monitoring stack (Grafana + Loki + Prometheus) * Event-driven workflows (n8n) * Local AI pipeline for voice + automations * Unified Home Assistant + Jarvis assistant * Central DNS / Identity (SSO for family) * Disaster recovery + clean backup architecture ---- ===== 📋 Planned Components Checklist ===== **Hardware (NAS)** - [ ] ASRock X570D4U-2L2T - [ ] Ryzen 7 5700G - [ ] 32GB ECC (2×16, expandable) - [ ] be quiet! cooler - [ ] Fractal Define 7 XL - [ ] Corsair RM850x PSU - [ ] 16× SAS 6TB drives (have already) - [ ] 2× LSI HBA - [ ] Mini-SAS breakout cables - [ ] SAS-to-SATA power cables - [ ] PWM fan hub + fans **Networking** - [ ] Dual Intel X550 - [ ] UPS for network closet - [ ] UPS for office - [ ] NUT server on Pi **Home Assistant / Automation** - [ ] HA Voice rollout - [ ] BLE room-tracking nodes - [ ] Car BLE presence + TTS - [ ] New dashboards (Upstairs / Outside) **Torres Family Lights** - [ ] New props - [ ] Revised power injection plan - [ ] Playlist automation v2 - [ ] WLED effects for show status ---- ''This page will evolve as TorresVault 2.0 planning continues.''
