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!

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

    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.

    • Little servers - 3 x Pentium D-1508s w/32GB RAM, 2 x 400GB SSDs
    • Big server - 1 x Dual Xeon E5-2650L v3 w 128GB RAM, 2 x 100GB SSDs, 2 x 400GB SSDs, 2 x 800GB SSDs, 8 x 4TB HDDs
    • Desktop - 1 x Ryzen 5800X3D w 32GB RAM, 1 x 2TB NVMe SSD, RTX 4080
    • Cheap TP-Link 10Gbps switch
    • Proxmox running across the servers, the 400GB SSDs are running Ceph, everything else in ZFS
    • VyOS in a VM for routing etc…, 2Gbps symmetric internet
    • Mostly LXC at present, in the process of migrating that to Hashicorp Nomad (running inside VMs) backed by Ceph

      On the big server, what do you use the assortment of SSDs for? I get specifically having a good chunk of solid state storage, but im wondering if you’re like me and just acquired them over time, or if there’s a specific purpose in mind.

        Mostly over time - OS on the pair of 100s, the 800s were for containers/VMs - this use is moving over to CephFS though - the three smaller boxes are a recent addition.

    • Protectli microappliance running pfsense with all my VLANS/ DDNS/ IDS and OpenVPN to connect home
    • Some cheap Tp link 1Gbe managed switch (next on the upgrade list)
    • RS1221+ 8 bay NAS with 60TB raw (used to hold media to serve Jellyfin as well as Proxmox VM backups)
    • Intel NUC running proxmox (Home assistant/ Jellyfin/ Pihole/ Whoogle, etc)
    • TP Link EAP 660HD AP (most recent upgrade, and very happy with it, previously had been using OpenWRT/ Luci on a R7800)

    Also hoping to get a server style UPS soon, which reminds me, I have to go check if there’s a homelabsales community here :)

      Nice setup, regarding protectli with pfsense, how much throughput do you get with intrusion detection set to on… Was wondering about protectli products and their performance. I can only make use of 1/4 of the bandwidth with my current thin client

        I’m getting about ~800-900 Mbps down and ~15 up (a bit more than what I pay for). I did notice that when I saturate the sownly speeds, my CPU will max out and I’ll start getting latency spikes to the point where the traffic stops on the network.

        After looking into it and adding a buffer bloat rule/ limiter, I’m not having any issues. I guess that’s the price of running IDS on 7 VLAN interfaces, but it’s getting by. When I go 10Gbe I will definitely pick something a little more capable, but it’s great for 1 Gbe
