I wish lemmy would allow for bigger images.

My setup:

  • VPS: Wireguard and ngnix proxy

  • Nanopi: Friendlywrt for the firewall

  • Dell precision tower 3620: proxmox with lxc containers running caddy and WordPress. I also have a VM running docker which runs some services, truenas for storage and a Linux mint VM for gaming, machine learning and jellyfin in podman. The machine has a 590 and a standard power supply. I had to cut off some of the housing in the case and on the GPU to make it fit.

  • Beelink mini PC: It also runs proxmox and has my VM endpoint for wireguard with another ngnix proxy. It also runs a VM with docker for some other services

  • Raspberry pi 3: i2p for fun

How it started.

How it's going.

Note: The last Pic is when I installed my 10gb switch, but I was still waiting for my DAC cables to arrive. All my servers are using 10gb at this point. Also, I should note that the cable management isn't great... I'm in the process of moving to mikrotik switches. So I have a few misc cables that are out of place currently as I'm migrating/testing things.

Nice, thanks for sharing! Mine looks like this atm:

  • HS: Mainly Docker containers and VMs
  • VPS: Wireguard to relay traffic (NAT) to the HS (SSL termination on HS)
  • UPS in case of power outage
  • Pi4 for backups within the local network. It also has a disk station for regular air gapped backup.
  • Pi3 for off site backup
  • Fire extinguisher nearby in case of emergency ^^

Y'all have fancy labs.

All I have is a HP dl380 Gen8 sitting sideways between my desk and my wife's desk. Its use is now eveng for ccnp studies.

Same! (Although mine might be a G7, forget). What specs are you running in there? Mine has become grossly underpowered for basically anything compared to the electricity it uses, so I haven't turned it on in ages.

2x Xeon E5-2650 8x 16Gb ram (128 total) 2x 600GB 10K SAS

Thinking of upping the CPU and getting more drives though.

My wife calls it the noise machine for obvious reasons during booting.

Only the one on the top is in use, and as of right now I only have one of the bottom two (gave the other away to a co-worker. If anyone on here is in the Cleveland Ohio area and could use a Cisco UCS C220 M3 for their homelab, reach out.

Unit in use is a Cisco C220 M5SX with 2x Xeon Gold 6132 (56 total threads) and 768GB RAM, 4x 1.2TB SAS drives.

I like it. I’m currently working with a GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2.

Now THIS is more my style of cable management

Nice setup - I’ve been at eying the nanopi r4s for a while to use as fw.
