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.
Server: AMD Ryzen 5 5600, 16gb RAM, Slackware Linux, Nvidia GeForce 210, and something like 5 or 6 TB of space. Mainly used as a fileserver, but it also hosts my Matrix homeserver, some Fossil repos, and some other stuff.
Desktop: Core i9-10850K, 64gb RAM, Slackware Linux, Nvidia RTX 3080, I think 2-3 TB of space, 4K monitor. It's a machine I originally got in 2003, and I've just continually upgraded myself in chunks it since then. There might be an original screw or cable left in it still - a real Ship of Theseus thing.
Bunch of Rasberry Pi 4s that are sometimes online, all running Slackware Linux. One's connected to a touchscreen inside of a 3D printed case and powered by a battery.
If you haven't guessed from the above, I use Slackware Linux 😜
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.
Currently running a docker environment from a laptop with the following:
Firefly III - For budgeting
Seafile - For file sync. Was using OneDrive, but since it's not supported by Linux went with Seafile. Works great!
Keycloak - SSO
Cloudflare Tunnel - For connection to my services from outside without needing to forward ports, and to enforce SSO for platforms that don't support it.
I've got an aging Dell Optiplex microsff running OPNSense as a router on a stick, handling the house LAN. Then a HP Prodesk mini that runs containers on top of Rocky 9.
Free oracle ampere instance running Synapse and Onlyoffice DS for my Nextcloud instance, and Adguard Home (DoT&DoH) to block ads on the go. Not really homelab stuff, but relates closely... Probably going to set up a Lemmy instance on that one too, seems worth it if ARM is not an issue.
Going to try making a RPi 4B 8GiB + FreeBSD + 2 HDD ZFS mirror "NAS", though it's main usage is going to be local backups, mostly just sitting idle. Finding a powered 2-disk USB3-SATA disk housing that stops the disks properly (not with emergency head retract) has been surprisingly difficult. If anyone has suggestions for one, I'd be grateful. Probably going to have to write scripts to issue hdparm commands automatically when necessary.
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
Thanks, I am paying for 1gbs up and down and wondering which Hardware would be good. Which protectli product do you have? I see some heavy price differences
In case you’re interested - pfsense has a plug-in that works just like pihole called pfblockerng it uses the exact same format as pihole lists too. I was already running DNS on my pfsense to this made more sense than spinning up a separate machine.
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.
I’m thinking about moving my single-user instance onto my lab from DO. Either that or moving to a managed Kubernetes cluster in the cloud (that is prohibitively expensive though)
Intel NUC i5 8XXXX running promox. I run home assistant, frigate & plex. Data storage is via the NAS DS 918+ but I do run some of their packages on that too & a couple more on the router / network.
Home assistant is particularly useful for running a bunch of add ons that I’d otherwise need to run as separate services in proxmox like adguard
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.
Raspberry pi 1: pivpn, pihole Raspberry pi 3: home assistant Raspberry pi 4: some leftover docker containers.. move in progress Mini pc (1tb ssd, 20gb ram): arr stack, plex, audiobookshelf, vaultwarden, mealie, photoprism, and some more Synology NAS: 23tb
Feel this on a spiritual level. Although, I can tell you from experience now that trying to collect all the crap and put it "on paper," in one place, is almost more painful after the fact lol.
