Figured we'd start this community off with a question about what you're running in your homelab!

This could be anything from hardware to software to things your running in the cloud (#cloudlab).

Hardware and diagram pics are always welcome!

Intel NUC with a hard drive for local stuff (*arrs, jellyfin), but nowadays because I plan to go back to full-time motorhoming I fire up stuff on DO, hetzner, AWS, GCS, etc as required. At the moment just a Lemmy and general purpose instance, but I do pop up the odd gameserver I've dockerized on one of these services while playing with friends

Awesome! Yeah, my instances are currently running on DO, but it's pretty expensive hosting in the cloud when you have a lab at home. My internet here isn't very good though, that's the main thing stopping me from moving them on-prem.

I think vultr is actually cheaper then DO though.

Joe's datacenter & hetzner server auctions are good deals if you've got bad internet and want to run your own multiple smaller VMs! Depending on latency in the case of hetzner.

But yeah, hosting at home is always great. I did it for years, but electricity prices began creeping up and I got tired of the maintenance

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's true, they do have pretty good prices. I like DO though because it's where I started and they have a DC not too far from me, so latency is very low.

It's also nice to pay for not having to deal with the hardware, and to also have the hidden costs go away (ie, electricity)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's true! Those do add up over time.

I'd love to go full cloud-native with a kubernetes cluster, but I can't justify the $100+ a month for a reasonable cluster :(

That's my disappointment as well! I've done k3s on a droplet, and it was nice, but I'd like to handover the control plane to a cloud provider when I'm experimenting without burning my wallet.

For sure, then you just have to worry about deploying apps. Seems a lot easier for testing.
