homelab

Hey All,...

Hi all,...

So with Crypto mining being less profitable and miners selling their rigs for cheap I thought how can I get my self a cheap managed network switch. I saw mining motherboards with 12 PCIe 2.0 1x slots(4gbit bandwidth) and tought hey if I plug in some cheap 10g 2port network adapters I can make my own network switch with exactly...

Hello,...

I have around 30TB of data scattared around between cloud services, external hard drives, a small plex server, etc....

Hi,...

I just recently moved a bunch of my services to docker compose and it is a breeze to setup. All you need is a config file and your squared away. No more dealing with lxc or manually configuring software. Just write a config and your done.

hey,...

I recently stated out loud that my homelab was stable, and now my UPS is posting less than 30 minutes of estimated normal load. What’s everyone using as a UPS?...

Sorry, I’m not very used with server stuff, if I buy an Intel CPU without an integrated GPU like most Xeon, then I wouldn’t have enough pcie lanes for a GPU because all is taken for nvme drives...

I installed opnsense on an i5-6500T (native, no vm) but it looks like the performance is very bad, most websites are timing out....

Anyone have any advice on how to choose between TruNAS, openmediavault, etc for homelab. I want to run nextcloud and jellyfin and maybe some VMs, though I also don’t really think that RAID is the best option for future proofing but I could be wrong.

Hi!...

It scratches the surface of the most obvious stuff. I’d only add running apps in isolation (docker or adduser) and maybe fail2ban.

I have installed Debian with software RAID1 (and installed Proxmox on it) on 2 256GB SSD and I now want to move to 2 500GB SSD, how do I proceed?...

It seems good based on the price of just the CPU. If it’s good, what kind of server case would it need?

I am currently looking into upgrading storage for my homelab. The two routes I am looking at are grabbing a dell r730 or a disk array. They are both about the same price, but my major purchase concern is heat and noise. My office/homelab is in a 10x10 foot room. I have worked hard to get the sound floor at my desk to be around...

So I was recently gifted some Mellanox 40gig network cards that I installed in my NAS and my desktop and connected with AOC fiber. I gave them both static IP addresses on their own dedicated subnet that’s not used anywhere else in my network. I was able to run iperf3 between both computers, and that worked exactly as expected....

Hi there,...

I have a host name whose dns points to my home IP. I use this for game servers for my buddies. Should I be worried about my home IP being easily accessible like this, and should I get a physical firewall appliance to protect myself?...

A slightly less technical post - these are some things I've learned from having a HomeLab for over a decade.

I’ve heard that WDS is the standard for creating a wireless bridge, but I have since read on a number of forum posts that WDS shouldn’t be used anymore. This idea of it being deprecated seems to make sense, as it appears that it is not supported by another newer router that I have (tp-link Archer AX73). How should I go about...

Not that this hasn’t been asked before, but what are your favorite NAS cases on 2023?...
