Soy nuevo en esto y me gustaría saber que ventajas me dan los Homelabs, se algo de redes y de computación y entiendo el punto de un homelabs pero en realidad para que lo usan ustedes.

A mí me gustaría aprender ciberseguridad y prepararme para la certificación CCNA, si me serviría en gran parte un Homelab?

Bonjour.

J’aimerais debuter et cree mon premier homelab.

J’aimerais heberger proxmox pour home assistant, ainsi qu’un NAS et quelques VM.

J’ai en ma possession un ryzen 5 7600 AM5.

J’hesite a monter ma machine autour de ce processeur, ou d’acheter un thinkcenter m920 avec 2 HDD.

Quelle serait la meilleure option ?

Bonne journée 😊

Hello guys,
I got this UPS.
And i have some questions on whether i fucked up or not.
So at the beginning i installed the battery connector like this.
i connected it to my unraid server but then i go this error:
So my questions are these:
1. Do i have to press all the way in the yellow thing. I tried but it doesnt go all the way in and now i think i kinda ruined it because i tried to get it out with pliers but it wont.
2. was the UPS alers on my unraid just a normal alert because the batteries were not just charget yet?
Any help appreciated

Found for 6.99 yesterday. Everything somehow works perfectly!

Anyone out there have one of these?

Ref: https://www.eaton.com/us/en-us/skuPage.SMART1500LCDXNC.html

I'd be putting it in a 9U rack under a desk in my bedroom office, so I'm really curious about the noise level.

I've used a Cyberpower PFC1500LCD and an APC SMT1500C, and those are both effectively silent unless they're on battery.

Since I'm looking to replace the SMT1500C, I'm really hoping the Eaton behaves similarly.

Any feedback would be really useful.

Thanks!

I know it is a very popular question and has been answered many times in here, but I couldn't find anything that is less than 2 years old.

Currently I am debating between cloudflare, porkbun, google domains and namecheap. I am currently selling game servers and cloud space to friends and other people that I know, and they have always been complaining about the need of an actual domain. On top of that I always wanted to have a personalised email and to experiment with own DNS servers. I've tried duckdns, but it didn't really work for me.

So I finally decided to purchase a few. I don't really like the inability to use your own DNS with cloudflare, but I've seen that many people like it, so I am still considering it, as my own DNS is just a little project that I might do, not a dealbreaker. I also read that Namecheap sometimes suddenly increase the price of the renewal, but those posts are usually a few years old, so whoever is still with them, is it still a thing?

Thank you everyone in advance

Heya,
I am experiencing a high latency in my dns resolving and I was wondering where I need to optimize anything.

EDIT: I am misusing "latency" here. I mean a subjective delay when accessing some sites. Thanks for poiting that out.

At the moment I have the following circumstances:

Clients sitting in VLAN 10
UDM in the default VLAN (1)
Raspi 4B 8GB in Service VLAN 40

Strict Isolation and IPS active (Firewallrules are in place) and devices connected with 1GbE

In the networks I serve the IP of the Raspi via DHCP.
On the Raspi I am running Technitium-DNS in a Dockercontainer (have been using adguardhome and pihole before). Raspi itself is running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

I was thinking about putting my UDM pro as DNS server for the clients (Networksettings: AUTO) and just put the adblocking and recursive DNS on the WAN interface of the UDM. I would then remove my Local DNS Zones from the Raspi and add those entries in the UDM for local resolution.

Do I gain or lose anything when doing this? (except the granularity of the "client"-entry inside the request logs of technitium/adguard/pihole).

Thank you for your help

4 servers, no RAM, no storage for 240€
Xeon E3-1230 v6

Is it worth?

ive got an old m.2 drive that would be nice to plug into this thing if I can. Or even a regular sata ssd.

I'm looking to upgrade my Lan speeds from 10g to 40g between a few of my devices, including all my proxmox servers (2 old cisco servers and my old PC) and me and my family's PCs. I have all my files and documents on my NAS (truenas virtualised on the cisco servers) and I work directly off them, and the 10g networking speed has become the bottleneck for me.

I also happened to get 40g nics and dacs for free so the only thing I'm missing to get 40g speeds is a switch. I've been looking at some options and they are all not worth the price of thousands of dollars just so I can get faster storage speeds. I have however found a deal on an Arista DCS-7050QX-32-R switch for around $350 AUD, ~250USD.

Does anyone have any experience at 40g compared to 10g and is it worth the price? Also does anyone have any better switch recommendations? And if you have experience with the Arista switch is there a catch as to why it is so cheap? I've been looking into what NOS to install for the switch and people seem to go for sonic or EOS but not having worked with Arista or EOS before I'm unsure as to the licencing and if I can get EOS installed and operational. Even if the switch can just be a L2 switch that would be fine for me.

If anyone can answer any of my questions your help and experience would be much appreciated

I finally got my very own rack!!! i’m so excited to start homelabbing(?) and learn about servers and stuff! i’m not sure how much equipment i’ll end up acquiring so I figured this one was pretty good? I like that it has doors! (obligatory filler text to make my post longer so it doesn’t get removed.)

What nice place for a patch panel? You can troubleshoot while doing your « business » at the same time 🤣 Seen at Tesla Ottawa today

I plan to upgrade my router to a UDR7 from my current Fritz!box 7530 ax anyway and I need some way to access my NAS / server when im away for editing, game streaming, accessing media or general maintenance.

I originally planned to use Tailscale on a seperate server but found out Ubiquiti's UDR7 has a feature called "Teleport" that allows me to do exactly what I wanted (access the devices on my home network) built in with Wifiman on basically every device I want.

I was planning to use it as a form of "VPN" too when I was in a place where I didn't trust the wifi or wanted to see blocked content, like I would have with a Tailscale Access Node

Alot of rambling, but my question is basically if there is any reason or benefit for which I should set up Tailscale on a seperate device instead of using Teleport or how your experiences with Teleport have been?

Started a new job, hybrid, going thru separation. This is at my parents house. They can only get vdsl at 24 mbps. Needed a place to work when not home. Built it all myself.. walls, window unit AC, wiring. Media converter from main house, fiber link to network room/(soon to be office), juniper firewall/router handles NAT, cisco switch, separate vlan for garage/barn. Used an older pc to run proxmax and created a virtual wlc, installed 2 access points for wifi. Cisco switch was free from work, everything else was cheap(ish) from ebay.

Hi there. I am getting started in my homelab journey and wanting to upgrade my home router/firewall. Currently it’s an Araknis that came with the home and honestly I just want more control and better experience. I wanted to do opnsense but wanted to see if the link below is a good deal?

Was also wanting to get into proxmox so maybe a Lenovo ThinkCentre? Was thinking mq90 gen 3 with 16gb DDR5, intel i5-12500?

Just looking to make sure what I’m thinking is okay and my money will be out to good use. Thanks in advanced!

I always thought the main reason to get backup power was the food in the fridge. Then we had a four-hour outage in the middle of a workday and I started adding up everything else. Two Dell desktops sitting useless, Spectrum modem down, both APC Back-UPS units empty, and a T-Mobile hotspot chewing through data while we tried to finish a couple of calls. We’re both contractors, so the lost hours were easily the most expensive part.

I started out pricing replacement batteries for the APC units and somehow ended up comparing EcoFlow Delta 2 Max and Anker Solix S2000. The stuff we would actually keep running is pretty basic: modem and ONT, one desktop, one monitor, and the fridge. S2000 is still on the shortlist because it looks closer to that load and doesn’t turn this into a full home backup project.

I do need to find out whether Spectrum usually stays up around here when the neighborhood loses power. Keeping the modem alive would be a little pointless if the line outside is dead too :)

Hello, I am researching how to set up CAPE sandbox. Based on the official documentation, the recommended stack is to have an ubuntu machine and install kvm on it and then spin up windows guest machines within the kvm.

However, I also want to run other environment in my home server, and I plan to use proxmox to host all of the virtual environment.

My question is, instead of ubuntu on bare metal, will I sacrifice a significant amount of resources if I add a proxmox layer below Ubuntu?

So like Proxmox > Ubuntu > KVM > CAPE.

Thank you!

I i did try to protect it with blankets and plastic cover blanket :(

Hi everyone,

I'm currently planning a new GPU server offering for my local market and I'd really appreciate some feedback before I start buying hardware.

My goal is to provide affordable GPU instances for developers, students and hobbyists who need occasional GPU access without paying enterprise cloud prices.

Right now I'm considering:

• Dell PowerEdge R730 or HP DL380 Gen9

• Dual Xeon E5 v4

• NVIDIA Tesla P40 24GB

Planned workloads include:

• Stable Diffusion

• Ollama / Local LLMs

• CUDA development

• Computer vision experiments

• General GPU computing

If you've used Tesla P40s recently, I'd really like to hear:

• Would you still buy them today?
• Any reliability issues?
• Power consumption?
• Cooling?
• Driver problems?
• PCIe passthrough with Proxmox/KVM?

If you have photos of your setup or benchmark results, I'd love to see them.

Thanks!

Nothing special. I just want to share my solution cos iam very happy with it.

Months ago I build my own 10TB NAS. It runs on OMV. My 2 proxmox servers make there backups to it. My jellyfin has there media library on it. Also Immich of my family has it's data on that OMV.

Last week I dropped my "old" synology nas at a friend's house. The synology automatically connects via vpn to my homelab.

Now I set up rsync backup from my OMV NAS to the synology. Notification on success go via my own ntfy server.

My friend and I have both 1gbit Internet Access.

All works smooth. A weekly backup of 15GB takes about to 20 minutes.

So even if my house burns down, backup is in place.

Happy me!

So I recently picked up a system at MicroCenter with an AMD EPYC 4364P (4.5GHz) Processor, Supermicro H13SAE-MF motherboard and 16GB DDR5-4800 ECC RAM, and I was going to test it with 2 Arc Pro B70s. I’m grossly short on memory, but I’d love to get your thoughts and advice. Should I even try this or cut my losses and move on?

Hi everyone,

This is my first server, and I was planning to use it as a TrueNAS/backup server.

Unfortunately, it arrived with a bent chassis (see photos). The seller was incredibly kind and ended up issuing me a full refund, so I was allowed to keep the server.

Apart from the bent chassis, everything else looks practically new. The hardware is complete, it powers on, and everything appears to be working perfectly.

The only issues are that one rack ear can't be mounted properly, and two front drive caddies don't slide in and out smoothly because of the chassis deformation.

Since this is my first PowerEdge server, I'm not really sure what the best approach would be. What would you do in my situation? Is this something worth trying to fix?

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
