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!

Protectli microappliance running pfsense with all my VLANS/ DDNS/ IDS and OpenVPN to connect home
Some cheap Tp link 1Gbe managed switch (next on the upgrade list)
RS1221+ 8 bay NAS with 60TB raw (used to hold media to serve Jellyfin as well as Proxmox VM backups)
Intel NUC running proxmox (Home assistant/ Jellyfin/ Pihole/ Whoogle, etc)
TP Link EAP 660HD AP (most recent upgrade, and very happy with it, previously had been using OpenWRT/ Luci on a R7800)

Also hoping to get a server style UPS soon, which reminds me, I have to go check if there's a homelabsales community here :)

Nice setup, regarding protectli with pfsense, how much throughput do you get with intrusion detection set to on... Was wondering about protectli products and their performance. I can only make use of 1/4 of the bandwidth with my current thin client

I'm getting about ~800-900 Mbps down and ~15 up (a bit more than what I pay for). I did notice that when I saturate the sownly speeds, my CPU will max out and I'll start getting latency spikes to the point where the traffic stops on the network.

After looking into it and adding a buffer bloat rule/ limiter, I'm not having any issues. I guess that's the price of running IDS on 7 VLAN interfaces, but it's getting by. When I go 10Gbe I will definitely pick something a little more capable, but it's great for 1 Gbe

Thanks, I am paying for 1gbs up and down and wondering which Hardware would be good. Which protectli product do you have? I see some heavy price differences

I've been using this one without issues for years. https://a.co/d/iTasHwu
