My very adequate homelab

Been slowly putting this together and I’m pretty happy with my little setup. Nothing rack-mounted, no 40TB NAS, just a Dell OptiPlex 3060 running Proxmox tucked in a cupboard. I am currently running Jellyfin + the *arr stack, Pi-hole, Home Assistant, Homepage, Uptime Kuma and a few other bits. 2TB S…

This Has Been Happening To A Lot Of People Recently

Rural Canada Production Homelab / DC

Running outta physical space and power😅 considering renting a shop or a commercial bay at this point. I'm excited I have my ISP coming on Sept 8th to upgrade me from a small / medium business line to full blown commercial internet with a /27 and more soon :) to r/homelab

From a Linksys BEFSR41 to this… My homelab in the making.

I started building my home lab / network in 2016 with the acquisition of an EdgeRouter8 (the one at the top of the smaller rack). Upgraded to UniFi and proceeded through the security gateway line and into cloud gateway territory now ending up with Shadow UDM Pro Max’s. I’ve conquered a goal of never…

Starting a homelab… but first!

I’ve fallen down the homelab rabbit hole and I’ve been wanting to take the leap and get some beginner gear, but first I wanted to tackle the network panel mess that the Cox guy had left behind. $100 later, I have Ethernet going into every room and feel ready for the next step! I’m trying to decide b…

My machine have 2 ethernet ports, there is a way where i can pass all the network traffic through it? (Extra details in text)

So, i want to know if is possible if i can route all the traffic from devices connected to WIFI and also by other means in my network to a single machine, that centralizes internet access. Phisically the CAT5 cable would be: ISP router -> Server -> <- Other machines in the network Thinking on that t…

My Lab

I started down this road a couple years ago with only a 2bay qnap and a raspberry pi 4b on a shelf in the garage. Almost all of the equipment has been purchased second hand at prices that would make your eyes water from marketplace. ATT Fiber 2000/2000 UCG-Fiber with a 3d printed rack mount. Agg swi…

[WIP] SurfaceCluster – 10 Surface Laptop 2 boards turned into a Proxmox cluster

I got my hands on a batch of discarded Surface Laptop 2s and decided to turn them into something slightly ridiculous instead of throwing them away. I stripped the laptops completely and kept the motherboards, NVMe SSDs and original cooling. Current setup: 10x Surface Laptop 2 motherboards Intel Core…

Hoemlab as a student

Hi all, A few months back I slowly started this homelab. I really like doing so and its quite useful. Its still a mess but on the front its okay imo. I have 2 nodes running Proxmox VE: Node 1: thinkcentre m900 - i5-6500T 4c4t - 8GB DDR4 - 512GB SATA SSD Node 2: thinkcentre m900 - i5-6500T 4c4t - 16G…

The Journey Begins

Just finished getting everything in place for what seems to be becoming my first Home Lab Setup. Iv had the Synology DS923+ for a few years now, recently got into hosting my own media server via Emby installed on the NAS. Worked well enough at home but noticed some transcoding troubles with remote p…

My small homelab is slowly turning into an AIOps / local LLM lab

My small homelab is slowly turning into an AIOps / local LLM lab I've been building this mostly from small/refurbished hardware, with the goal of keeping each machine's role simple rather than building one big server. Current setup: Cerebro — Lenovo ThinkCentre M900 Tiny, i5-6500T / 8 GB Dedicated k…
