homelab

Hey all,...

I'm using old laptop as a home server....

Hey, y'all!...

I just recently got 1 gigabit up/down at home when they put in fiber....

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 router....

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 done in...

Hello all!...

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

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....

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....

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....

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)....

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?...

I'm curious how much people are interested in using this? I see posts are fewer, especially if compared to reddit....

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

I am still very much a novice in the self-hosting space, Linux etc. having fairly recently switched from using macOS as my daily driver and not tinkering much at all....

I've been using a sound bar from Sonos with my TV for several years now, but in an effort to ditch the last appliances that unnecessarily require accounts and internet access, I am looking to ditch it in favor of something that is entirely contained within my own network....

I currently have several VLANS (management for network devices, iot for smart devices, infra for security cameras and NAS, one for personal devices, anothe for guests, etc....

I'm planning to buy Smart TVs for my house and I wanted to know which TV OS has better support for homelab media apps....

Btrfs gets a bad rap sometimes but I have been using it for years and it works very well. It is able to take failing hardware and power outages and still has good performance.

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....

Currently, I am have a VMware vCenter 7 4 node cluster. These are the Lenovo m920q machines with 64GB RAM each. I also have a Synology 4 Disk NAS too....

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 of...
