====== 🚀 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
