homelab

Hey, y’all!...

Some background: I have a Synology NAS already with plenty of space on it. It runs my Jellyfin server in a docker container. I also have a Raspberry Pi 3b running Pihole....

I currently have my reverse proxy on my NAS. That means I forward all of my 443 HTTPS traffic to my NAS. I am using OpnSense for my router, and there are several options for reverse proxies on that. Everything works the way it is now, but I do wonder if it would be “better” if I moved all of the reverse proxy stuff to my...

Looking to build my first server out, trying to figure out if there is a “better” platform for my needs. Right now I’m just planning a mix of machines and containers in Proxmox for running a NAS and Plex server, router of some sort (also, any preferences on wireless access points?), a pihole if that’s not just as easily...

So I was wondering, what is exactly the use case of owning a server rack with huge CPUs and 256GB of DDR4 RAM with 1PB of storage?...

Hello all!...

Having got my Raspberry Pi for Christmas, I was finally able to enter the world of home labs and I’m slowly getting everything up and running....

My main homelab server runs a bunch of stuff but was a little limited in the hardware department....

I have a network set up something like the following:...

I am looking for a single board computer that has a charging circuit (i.e. a power management chip) so it can be powered directly by a battery. I am aware of the A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 which supports this. However, I wanted to explore my options. Are there any other boards which support this? I am aware of PiJuice and LiFePO4wered...

Is anyone running saltstack, and if so, are you doing gitfs for your repo?...

I am able to fit an HDD and an SSD in the drive bays that it came with. However, I’d like to put as many HDDs in it as I can....

Hi everyone, I’m looking to see if I could get some suggestions or recommendations on an upgrade path for my NAS in my current home environment. I’m also unsure if this is the best place to ask, so please let me know if this question doesn’t fit in here....

As I’m in the beginning steps of sorting out my homelab, I’m starting to ask questions I haven’t asked before and come across conundrums I hadn’t considered previously. One of which is how to sort out pi-hole given that my ISP has locked down the router tighter than a tight thing....

Dear homelabbers,...

I have a small client on the side that I am looking to get more durable off-site backups done. I personally use restic and resticprofile in my homelab without issue. The issue is that I would like to give them some kind of GUI and from what I see, none of the restic ones will do it....

I have a P400 in my storage server which currently also runs some media containers like Plex, sonarr-sma, radarr-sma, Jellyfin, exploring Immich, etc. I have the GPU surfaced via docker and added it to each of the containers that needed access to the GPU for hardware acceleration needs. Is it possible to be able to leverage the...

Two friends and I would like to build a PC as a server in my house. The idea would be to have a headless server with 3 VMs. I was wondering what would be the best thing to do so that everyone could have their own private space, while optimizing disk space as much as possible (1TB M.2 SSD + 8TB HDD via RAID1). Each of us could...

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...

Looking at the amount of PoE splitters and how much people hate having too many power bricks, I was wondering of anybody is doing something unconventional with PoE at their homelab?...

Workaround...

Without SSL on the LAN side of a reverse proxy, I presume that all traffic between the server and the reverse proxy is unencrypted and, thus, accessible to any device on the LAN....

I used to use an old Linksys WRT54GL v1.1 router for the purpose of testing homelab setups, but I have recently found that, as of 2022, it is unsupported by OpenWRT. So, I am now looking for a router to replace my old one. I don’t need anything fancy – I just need a router with WiFi connectivity (2.4GHz is fine, but 5GHz is,...

Hello, wonderful people!...
