TorresVault Architecture Overview
This page documents the updated, high-level architecture of the TorresVault home lab as of 2026, following consolidation into the new PVE-NAS system.
Core components included:
- Proxmox (single-node) + TrueNAS VM
- All storage (HBA → TrueNAS)
- Network (UniFi, VLANs, WiFi, APs, switches)
- Core services (DNS, reverse proxy, Pi-hole, monitoring, media)
- Home Automation (HA, BLE, FPP)
- Future expansion: backup NAS + AI cluster

┌──────────── Automation & Lighting Layer ─────────────┐
VLAN 60 (Torres Family Lights) → 192.168.60.0/24
- FPP Controller: 192.168.60.55
- Kulp controllers / smart receivers
- WLED instances (including wled_car_warning)
==== 2. Network & VLAN Layout ====
The UCG Max serves as the router, firewall, and DHCP server for all networks.
Core UniFi Devices
Gateway
- UCG Max – 192.168.1.1
- WAN → Ting Fiber
- DHCP → all VLANs
- Firewall + inter-VLAN rules
Switches
- USW Flex – 192.168.10.7
- USW Flex 2.5G 5 – 192.168.10.104
- USW-Lite-8-PoE – 192.168.1.194
- UDB Mesh Switch – 192.168.1.98
APs
- Master Bedroom AP – 192.168.10.201
- Hallway AP – 192.168.1.236
6. Future Direction (TorresVault 2.0 Roadmap)
- Add backup NAS (mirrored SSD/SAS)
- Expand TrueNAS pool with remaining SSDs
- Add Flex 10G for full 10GbE storage
- Add 2 × UM890 Pro mini-PCs for AI / services cluster
- Add GPU node (3060-based Jarvis system)
- Migrate more services to containers
- Fully integrate Home Assistant Voice across home
- Unify monitoring and alerts across entire stack
- Improve full documentation in DokuWiki
