homelab

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

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

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.

Hi!...

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....

I've been running a full tower Windows server with a dozen drives for a decade and decided to downsize. This ministack does everything I need at a fraction of the power, noise, and heat....

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....

For the last 6 months or so I've been working on Pinepods. I have never been able to find the perfect self-hosted podcast app that I wanted to use. podgrab's player is rather lackluster and misses a lot of features that I would like....

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...

I previously (and sort of still do) ran my homelab on a Raspberry Pi 4B with 4GB of RAM. That lab still exists but I recently picked up an Orange Pi 5B with 8GB of RAM and have been building out my services from scratch....

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 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...

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

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 someone...

I've been overhauling my homelab for the past 3 months. Initially the goal was to move my servers into a proper rack and out of the garage. This turned into a whole lot more than that, essentially replacing almost all my servers and equipment with updated hardware....
