What are your homelab stats? (reddrefuge.com)

I just spent a good chunk of today migrating some services onto new docker containers in Proxmox LXCs.

As I was updating my network diagram, I was struck by just how many services, hosts, and LXCs I'm running, so counted everything up.

  • 116 docker containers
    • Running on 25 docker hosts
    • 50 are the same on each docker host - Watchtower and Portainer agent
  • 38 Proxmox LXCs (19 are docker hosts)
  • 8 physical servers
  • 7 VLANs
  • 5 SSIDs
  • 2 NASes

So, it got me wondering about the size of other people's homelabs. What are your stats?

  • 3 DL360G8 Esxi (86Ghz/512GB RAM)
  • 1 DL380G8 TrueNAS
  • 1 DL360G7 Veeam
  • Dell n5070 Extended PVE SophosnUTM
  • 48 Port Catalyst rack switch
  • Cisco 2921
  • Fibre Channel / iSCSI

50+ VMs and containers:

  • VMware ESXi, vCenter, VMware Log Insight, VMware OPS
  • DMVPN to remote locations like a desk switch at work and family member houses
  • Sophos UTM
  • Active Directory for my home computers
  • hybrid sync to MS Entra (Azure Active Directory) with Entra Connect
  • hybrid Exchange on Premise and Exchange online
  • Active Directory for management network
  • Security Onion VMs for IDS
  • Network monitoring like Elastiflow, PRTG
  • Docker, gitlab, OpenSalt / Saltstack
  • Trellix ePO for AV
  • Nessus vuln scanners
  • Team Awareness Kit (TAK) server
  • Active Directory Certificate Services
  • Home media applications

These things are mostly to maintain familiarity and documentation development. I write off the cost of electricity as continuing education and professional development. More enterprise than some enterprises.

86Ghz

Woah

Most likely some sum of (cores x Ghz) each processor in all servers? While it kind of makes sense, it feels like a much higher clock speed than what I’m used to seeing.

I have a single quad sock E5-4640 server, I think in terms of me having 4 processors with 8 cores at base 2.4Ghz each; I don’t regularly (or ever, for that matter) think in terms of me having 76.8Ghz.

360G8s should be single or dual sock E5 v2 processors. I can’t really math right now (insufficient caffeine), but I can’t seem to make the math work, so I’d imagine something that to be an aggregated across all three systems, not individual systems?

Yes, aggregate of all three hosts in cluster, sorry. Dual socket, six cores.

Love it! I'm gonna grab a 32RU rack soon. Got most of my stuff in a small ~14RU wall cabinet right now. I was originally aiming for low power everything - RasPis, etc. But I've since bought a couple DL360s, and you just can't beat the sheer grunt factor, especially when paired with Proxmox.
