My Internet provider just installed a 2,5/1Gbps Internet connection and I’ve asked the guys to run a couple of their fiber to connect my router (HP Prodesk with OPNsense) to my server. I didn’t know that the fiber is single mode and all the SFP+ sold used now seems to be all for multi mode fiber (www.bargainhardware.co.ukfor...

Hi everybody! For my OPNsense router (on a VM on Proxmox) I need a 2,5Gbe card (to connect to the ONT of my provider); I only have 2 PCIe 3.0 x1 or 1 x4 because the only x16 is for a dual SFP+ fiber card....

So, I finally got this project (PiAlert) working how I’d like....

I recently installed an instance of TPot Honeypot, and it looks and feels pretty fantastic....

Hi everyone :)...

For those of you who know of PiAlert or similar projects/forks like NetAlertX, do you know of any that can run without WAN access?...

A slightly less technical post - these are some things I’ve learned from having a HomeLab for over a decade.

Just want to share some love about Seagate....

Hi all, I have a Proxmox server hidden away where it annoys nobody, and a small PC I’m the TV cabinet that I need to turn On/OFF every time I use it and when a movie needs to be transcoded, the fan spins like crazy....

I have installed Debian with software RAID1 (and installed Proxmox on it) on 2 256GB SSD and I now want to move to 2 500GB SSD, how do I proceed?...

I run a Windows 11 VM on xcp-ng to do testing and Windows specific graphic and video work. I use an old R9 390 in passthrough mode right now but it’s running out of steam....

I recently discovered Pi Alert (and the various forks of it) and it seems like something that might be useful on my homelab....

So I’m trying to build a router. Just need something to handle the networking in my house and the plan is to separate things out via virtual local area networks. Anyway, reading a bunch of threads and comments, I think my design will be something akin to this. Is this good or bad? Ultimately I wanna run OPNSense since that’s...

After looking into travel routers a bit, I quickly came across Gl.iNet which seems to be a leader in the space. It seems they use OpenWRT which is great, but with some special sauce on top of it....

I’ve been using Whoogle for probably a couple years now, and it’s been great....

My home server is a Proxmox machine with some VM one of which is Open Media Vault from which a Windows PC plays videos to my TV. I want to get rid of the Windows PC and connect the TV directly to the server with an HDMI+USB RJ45 extender, but…how do I get a GUI from it? Is it even possible? I would need to connect to a Windows...

Dear all, I have some questions for what I’m about to do with my HomeLab. I recently upgraded my connection to a 1000/1000 and the ISP sent me this shit ass router (Fastweb Nexxt) which is very locked down. I want to change it....

Hi I got a very specific recommendation request:...

I want to build a proper server with room for 40+ HDDs to move my media server to and have RAID 1. I know a lot about PCs and software, but when it comes to server hardware I have no clue what I’m doing. How would I go about building a server that has access to 40+ RAID 1’d HDDs?

I have a small client on the side that I am looking to get more durable off-site backups done. I personally use restic and resticprofile in my homelab without issue. The issue is that I would like to give them some kind of GUI and from what I see, none of the restic ones will do it....

First time posting here, so please lmk if I should format this question differently or ask for this kind of help somewhere else....
