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!

    Raspberry Pi 4 running home assistant

    Intel NUC running frigate and a minecraft server

    Custom built PC (i3-10100, 16gb ram, GTX1070 for transcoding. 24tb array with two parity disk, 2x 3tb ssd’s in array for docker, os, etc) with quite a lot of storage running Unraid, which is my media server, backup server, and now my lemmy server.

    Network is a mikrotik Hex S router and a netgear gigabit switch, with 1gb fiber internet. 2 Ubiquity AP’s for wifi in the house.

      How do you secure your lemmy instance on your home network? I’m interested in doing it but I’m unsure if a reverse proxy would be good enough security. My other public facing services run behind traefik and authelia, but I figure you wouldn’t want lemmy behind any auth for ease of use.

        Mostly I am depending on reverse proxy yes.

        Otherwise there’s not critical data on the box that could cause a problem for me if the server was owned and everything exfiltrated. Worst case if I had to completely wipe the box it would be annoying but not worse then that.

    I have a pretty modest setup. This is just what’s in or on my cabinet rack.

    1. Old two bay NAS
    2. New five drive bay server I’m replacing the old NAS with and running local stable diffusion and language models on. I managed to fit my old nVidia 3070 in the rack mount case. There’s no way a card the size of a 3090 would fit
    3. Some raspberry Pi’s
    4. Rack mount firewall
    5. Old Acer monitor, keyboard
    6. Dumb PDU and an old battery backup that I replaced the batteries on
    7. An old 802.11ac WiFi router set up as just a WAP, dedicated for home automation

    Plan is to set up something like open stack but right now it’s just running unmanaged (orchestrated?) docker containers. I recently learned about ansible so may just automate the docker containers instead of figuring out open stack.

      You fit a 3070 in a 5-bay NAS?? That’s impressive! I haven’t done much with ML, but it is a very interesting field of work. I’ve seen people do some pretty crazy things with it!

      Ansible is nice, but have you heard of Terraform? Or, if you prefer programming/scripting as opposed to HCL/YAML, there is also Pulumi with lets you use terraform via a few different programming languages. (Ansible is nice though, I used to use it all the time in my lab, and it just works)

      Nice list! I’m curious, why are you running 2 pi-hole and an adguard instance?

      (I also run 2 pi-hole instances for redundancy)

      I’ve moved to technitium DNS nowadays. I found that it works better for me then AGH.

    I have a relatively small setup, because of space and cooling constraints, but in that setup:

    • Generic server with a Xeon E5-2697 v2, kinda old but it’s still got 12c/24t, and 64 gigs of memory
    • Around 40TB of storage space, of which I’m using roughly 1%. I’m not even a datahoarder, I’m just a storage space hoarder.

    Everything I self host runs through Proxmox, either as a LXC container or as a RHEL 9 virtual machine. I also have a RasPi running Pi-Hole for ad blocking.

      Lots of Proxmox users here! That’s good to see. I’m also running Proxmox after using ESXI in my lab for a few years. Too expensive.

      Around 40TB of storage space, of which I’m using roughly 1%. I’m not even a datahoarder, I’m just a storage space hoarder.

      Save some for the rest of us, eh?

      Sounds like a pretty solid setup!

        I’m sure someone from /r/datahoarder is going to be coming along very soon that stored half the internet but I’m sitting at 123TB currently which is already excessive.

        Using 80% of that space right now.

    Box I built around a AMD Ryzen 7 3800X, running Ubuntu 22.04 and a handful of qemu VMs (owncloud, pihole, checkmk, etc…) A hand-me-down qnap I keep threatening to put truenas on but haven’t yet. A couple libre computer (pi alternative) boards. A couple tp-link managed switches.

    On my to-do list are to deploy an old Dell mini as an OpnSense box to replace my router.

    Has anyone tried running a Lemmy instance on theirs? I know it wouldn’t be a good idea to run one for public use, but I’m curious if anyone has tried just for fun.

    Hi! I’m Michael and this is my first lemmyverse post!

    An old Lenovo thinkstation with 128Gb RAM, 512Gb SSD (x2), 4Tb SATA (x2) and 2Tb SATA for ISOs and backups. Running proxmox with VMs (Windows Server 2022, Home Assistant, Win 11 RDP jumpstation, OPNSense firewall, unifi controller and a Linux general purpose server). I have a dedicated server also running proxmox with a webserver, monitoring server (openitcockpit), meshcentral server.

    Raspberry pi 4 as a backup and motioneye server in my garage.

    A couple of other raspberry pi 4s doing things… Including 2 at my caravan running HA, Plex and general stuff.

    I had old laptops until yesterday. I now have a Lenovo P330 Tiny that I’m making my current server. Any tips are appreciated.

    My main machine is an Optiplex 7070 micro (i5 8th gen, 16gb ram, 500gb SSD + 4TB hdd). I also have a pi 3 + 4tb hdd for backups and a pi 4 for wireguard. I have a few other SFF computers, but I don’t have a use for them at the moment.

    For services, I host many of the popular ones (nextcloud, portainer, paperless, etc.), but here’s 3 I haven’t seen mentioned a lot:

    • komga (ebook reader, works well with tachyiomi on my tablet)
    • kitchenowl (recipes and meal scheduling)
    • calckey (activitypub server)

      Noice, I’ve been meaning to setup something like paperless! Calckey looks like a good solution/alternative to Mastodon with an interesting user interface.

      I haven’t heard of the other two, but I’ll definately check out kitchenowl, could use some more meal planning!

    I used to run 2 hp proliant servers. One Proxmox and one truenas. Now it’s just one old AMD PC running Ubuntu server with some dockers. My electric bill is thanking me. About to move it all to an Intel NUC and downsize even further.
