homelab

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

I’ve gone through this process a few times over the last week since trying out WireGuard, and for the most part it’s been seemless. There’s hiccups here or there, but normally just me misconfiguring my keys/ config file....

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....

EDIT: It seems something is causing my wireguard hanshake to fail. I can’t find much on this particular error except “try rebooting the wg server”. I rebooted everything, and I can’t get it to connect unless the clients are already connected to the home wifi....

If you don’t mind Chinese vendors from AliExpress. It’s probably the best deal you’re going to find.

I have seen several cards that will do up to 4 NVMe from a single x16 slot (with MB and CPU that support bifurcation), but I have only found cards that are 1 PCIe slot to 1 M.2 A+E....

I recently upgraded my homelab core switch to a Mellanox SX 6012. It’s 12 ports of 40gb/s, and each can break out to 10gb/s. This switch also idles at 30 watts which was top of my list....

I want a switch with a few POE ports but it needs to be as low power as possible as I rely in solar....

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...

I’ve used fail2ban in the past on Ubuntu, and it was very easy to setup....

Hey all,...

I’m using old laptop as a home server....

I just recently got 1 gigabit up/down at home when they put in fiber. Now I’m looking for a router/firewall to use. I run a homelab with a few VMs....

Hey, y’all!...

Some background: I have a Synology NAS already with plenty of space on it. It runs my Jellyfin server in a docker container. I also have a Raspberry Pi 3b running Pihole....

I currently have my reverse proxy on my NAS. That means I forward all of my 443 HTTPS traffic to my NAS. I am using OpnSense for my router, and there are several options for reverse proxies on that. Everything works the way it is now, but I do wonder if it would be “better” if I moved all of the reverse proxy stuff to my...

Looking to build my first server out, trying to figure out if there is a “better” platform for my needs. Right now I’m just planning a mix of machines and containers in Proxmox for running a NAS and Plex server, router of some sort (also, any preferences on wireless access points?), a pihole if that’s not just as easily...

I am wanting to switch from Jellyfin to VLC. I cannot find any tutorials or explanations on how to do this. I have a Ubuntu server with media files on it, and on VLC, the server shows up under the “browse” > “local network” Section on the VLC android app....

Does this look like a decent starting point for a first router build?...

So I was wondering, what is exactly the use case of owning a server rack with huge CPUs and 256GB of DDR4 RAM with 1PB of storage?...

Hello all!...
