# Homelab Use Cases
|
|
|
|
NetBird helps homelabbers securely access their home infrastructure from anywhere and connect multiple home networks together.
|
|
|
|
## Common Scenarios
|
|
|
|
- **Remote NAS Access**: Access your Synology, QNAP, or TrueNAS from anywhere
|
|
- **Home Automation**: Reach Home Assistant, smart home devices, and IoT systems remotely
|
|
- **Media Servers**: Stream from Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby while traveling
|
|
- **Family Network Sharing**: Connect your home network with family members' networks
|
|
- **Self-hosted Services**: Access Pi-hole, Nextcloud, and other self-hosted applications
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
For connecting entire home networks (accessing devices that don't have NetBird installed), see the [Site-to-Site Connectivity Guide](/use-cases/site-to-site).

|
## Recommended Setup
|
|
|
|
For most homelabbers, we recommend:
|
|
|
|
1. **Install NetBird on your devices** - Laptop, phone, and any servers you access directly
|
|
2. **Set up a routing peer** - Use a Raspberry Pi, NAS with Docker, or dedicated device
|
|
3. **Configure network access** - Use Networks (simpler) or Network Routes (more flexible)
|
|
