homelab

We’re renovating a house and I’m looking to add some smart home devices in the home. This gives me a perfect excuse to renew my current home network setup. I currently have a simple setup: my ISP router + an unmanaged 16port switch with 2 Unifi AC Pro APs (feed using PoE injectors). I want to give the 2 Unifi APs to friends...

So right now my server (unRAID) is a PC, with a PCI SATA card installed hooked up to 6 HDD’s, 2 SSD’s and an NVME. I also have a 1070 in there for transcoding and a few other things....

I have a bunch of equipment on my rack that has AC adapters as part of the cable. How do people manage those so that they’re secured and out of the way?

Currently looking for a router with the following points...

Just cleaned out mt garage, closet, and attic. No clue why I kept every single box of anything electronic/tech based in the last ten years. I just tossed boxes for phones I haven’t had in years, old CPU and heat sync boxes, boxes for 100mbps nics, old modems I don’t have anymore. I’ve never needed any of these and have...

Hi,...

I accidentally cooked my current Opnsense router last night trying to shoehorn an M.2 2.5g nic into it. So I’m looking for recommendations for something new....

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.

I’m looking for security cameras that will integrate with my home server and nas. I want ones that record to my nas without some BS subscription service, and ideally run FOSS server logic I can deploy on my server. I’ve got one camera now that sorta does what I want, except the software isn’t FOSS and I’ve been unable to...

As far as I know, the only main reason to have a high clock speed CPU in a server is for game servers, at least for me. (And also for a router, but that doesont really apply here)....

I’ve got both Heimdall and Pi-Hole running in docker. They both work fine, but I’d like to get the Pi-Hole advanced statistics in Heimdall. The others, I just put on the bridge network, but I’m not sure I can have the Pi-Hole on bridge and the macvlan network. Is that possible, or is there a better way to accomplish this?

Let me know your hits to choose an UPS for a (small) homelab....

Hi all, first time posting for tech support on lemmy!...

I’m trying to find a video that demonstrated automated container image updates for Kubernetes, similar to Watchtower for Docker. I believe the video was by @geerlingguy but I can’t seem to find it. The closest functionality that I can find to what I recall from the video is k8s-digester. Some key features that were discussed...

I recently obtained a Dell t620 that I’ve rack mounted, and I’m using to upgradey homelab. I’m also thinking I should upgrade my routernsince I’m having to reconfigure a lot with the new server(I have a 12 year old Netgear wireless router)....

It’s been a while since I’ve played any games online with my Nintendo switch, and I quickly remembered the issues with NAT types on the Switch....

Recently, Comcast did some “upgrades” which caused Pfsense to be unable to ping their gateway. Because of this, my gateway is showing that it is down all the time now, as it is not replying to ICMP requests....

Basically, I’m building a home and getting it wired with Ethernet cabling. I didn’t want to get too much into the technical details, so I just provided the builders with locations where I want RJ45 ports, along with one spot where I just said “24-port patch panel” (the number of ports located elsewhere being 22....

I currently pay 70$ a month for residential 50/50 Ziply fiber internet in Oregon. On the ziply website it says it would be 50$ a month for 100/100 small business fiber. Would that let me get a static IP, port 25 unblocked and reverse dns? Are there any strings attached as it seems strange for small business internet to be...

I’m just going to be vulnerable for a minute here. I met the first person in real life who had similar server-y linux-y obsessions to me and we’d send eBay links of systems to drool over to eachother. They ended up being a terrible person but hid it from me pretty well until they couldn’t anymore and now I no longer have...

Hi there,...

I bought a Eaton Ellipse Eco 650 USB DIN for my Homelab. I connected it to my nas which is running OpenMediaVault because OMV has a NUT Plugin. I conneced it, it got recognised and i thought i should test it. So i switched the breaker off and my nas turned off safely after my entered time. I then went to turn the breaker back...

I’m looking in to upgrading my home lab setup with a rack and a rack mount case. I live in EU so it would be nice if you can give any input on where to buy networking equipment/supplies, case and a rack....

Hello there!...

Thinking of lining the inside side panels of my 48u rack with some sort of sound deadening material. Was going to go with rock wool or the cheap self adhesive foam bricks you can buy off amazon. Was thinking of doing the same thing to the ceiling above where my rack sits and the walls behind as well. Mainly trying to cut down on...
