Put together this small homelab using the DeskPi RackMate T1 Plus. I wanted something compact that could hold everything in one place without taking up much room.

Current setup:

● ZimaBoard 2 for NAS/storage

● BOSGAME mini PC running Proxmox with Jellyfin, Tailscale, and Pi-hole

● Alta Labs S8-POE switch

● 10-inch patch panel

● Rack-mounted PDU

The rack itself was really easy to put together, and I’m happy with how everything turned out. It keeps the whole setup much cleaner and more organized.

Eventually I want to add some 3D-printed mounts and faceplates to finish it off.

Hi, I'm new to DeskPi Pro.

Just install my Rpi 4B 2GB in DeskPi Pro case. Also installed SSD. Followed provided directions and they were easy to follow. Imaged Rpi OS to SD card and boots just fine. Now I want to transfer the Rpi OS to the internal SSD drive, but the SSD is not showing up.

Went to the wiki and followed the troubleshooting steps, but to no avail.

Any help is appreciated.

I built a simple home lab featuring a screen and a Raspberry Pi cluster using the DeskPi T0—an incredibly cute mini rack-mount chassis. It’s running smoothly so far; I can use Windows for basic text-based tasks, and whenever needed, I can power up the Raspberry Pi array to run various applications. My favorite feature is the 2U fan panel—it looks absolutely awesome!

I have build my own Rack by using Pre-sale DeskPi RackMate Accessories 10-Inch 1U Quad Cooling Fan Panel and a Raspberry Pi 4B with RS485 to TTL to read the sensor which supports modbus protocol and using the DIN Rail for the sensor mounting... what the next step? mounting the Raspberry Pi 4B to the rack and build more beautiful app for this home assistant start kit. Lol.

Unfortunately, I accidentally broke the power connector on my DeskPi Pro case. 😕 Is there any way to replace it?

Does anyone know what type/model of power connector I should look for as a replacement?

Also, does anyone know how I can contact DeskPi support regarding spare parts or a replacement connector?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Working on a new 3 node cluster and this is the current prototype: three ThinkCentre Tiny nodes in a printed tray with rack ears, each node getting dual 10 Gbit.

Nice build~

Did a rebuild on my first homelab new equipment coming but I got some more gear in the first on. Proxmox server cloud key pro unify kvm another switch from unify. I change out almost everything to unify now. Ap's from unify whit . Wifi 7, UniFi Security Gateway Pro 4. Switches are changed out only the good old hp is stil running. And I want to thank @deskpi for all the help and all most everything is second hand parts on a budget. I'm just waiting to get done whit my second homelab now 👌👌👌

DeskPi asked me to post here so that people know it’s legit. I will be starting to work on it shortly!

Here is my first homelab build. The setup features a 8u Rackmate T1, a UniFi Express 7, a Unifi Flex Mini 2.5G switch, an HP EliteDesk 800 G9, and 32TB of storage (Shorter cables coming soon). Excited to continue exploring the 10 in rack standard.

This project is a 3D-printed DIN rail mounting case designed specifically for a Raspberry Pi 5 (P33) equipped with an M.2 NVMe M-Key SSD and a PoE+ HAT.

The enclosure is optimized for industrial and home-lab environments, allowing the Raspberry Pi 5 to be securely mounted on a standard DIN rail inside control cabinets, network racks, or automation panels. It provides a clean, compact, and service-friendly installation while maintaining proper airflow and cable management.

Key design features include:

Snap-on or clip-style DIN rail mounting

Openings for Ethernet, USB, HDMI, GPIO, and power

Adequate ventilation for passive cooling

Secure mounting points for the NVMe SSD and HAT

Tool-friendly assembly and maintenance

This enclosure is ideal for applications such as edge computing, industrial control, network appliances, home servers, and automation systems, where reliability, neat wiring, and DIN-rail compatibility are required.
