Nothing spectacular really, just wanted to share it to show the more security unconcious people the risk of opening Port 22 to the Internet. Also i was curious how long it would take.

Had set up a isolated Debian12 VM with Fail2Ban (did not ban at all, basically just to count the logon tries), Password auth enabled. Exposed Port 22 directly to the public internet.

Accounts/Passwords were user/user and admin/admin. When a successful SSH Login would occur, the server would write the uptime and the number of failed logins to a logfile and then shut down.

-> 2 Hours 6 Minutes, 30 failed logins.

I guess i will pick more complex passwords in the future and try again.

Anyways... don´t do it with your live systems!

Hello Homelab Community

After much delay, I finally moved from ESXI to Proxmox and boy am I happy to have done so! Proxmox is so feature rich, but it can also be quite overwhelming, especially if folks are not used with virtualization platforms. So to share what I've learned and get people involved, I have made a video aimed at beginners showcasing some of the aspects I found more compelling (and useful) in Proxmox 8.3. The video can be found here:

The video will cover:

• Downloading and installing Proxmox 8.3
• Removing the Nagging messages
• Configuring the Repos with community provided ones and updating your node
• Adding extra disks
• Creating a VM and some of the settings that I found working best for me
• How to create snapshots (which along with templates is one of my favourite features)
• Creating backups
• Mounting a SMB/CIFS location
• Creating a schedule
• GPU Passthrough

The video was done not to go too deep into any of these topics, but IMHO it will help beginners get their PVE node started. If there is any particular topic you would me to cover on feature videos please let me know. And of course, if you have some feedback please let me know so I can improve over time and make better videos!

I hope it helps someone!

Hey, I finished my first own Homelab today. Since I'm currently on a budget because I'm still studying, it looks quite modest xD.

In the middle is a FritzBox (provided by my German ISP). On top of it is an Unifi Cloud Gateway Max (only used by my server and at the same time a “switch”).

My main and only server is a used HP thinclient 630. I upgraded the RAM to 32gb DDR4 and the storage to 512gb SSD.

Even though the whole setup only cost me 230€, the performance is not bad at all. These are the services I host:

My other plans are to buy a decent 19” rack and a real unifi switch. Furthermore, rackmounts to accommodate my thin client. I also want to get another 1-2 mini PCs as Proxmox clusters (but with a better CPU and more RAM) and in the distant future I also want to design my own custom build.

tl/dr: have a 3-2-1 backup strategy and implement it so you can worry about other more important things.

I've seen some posts and comments on a handful of subreddits from folks asking how to quickly power down and pull their NAS drives. Followed up with even more comments from other folks saying: "Hey, just grab the whole NAS!" Putting aside that some of us have a rack mounted NAS, answer me this: what about hauling around a piece of computer equipment or a bunch of magic rocks and keeping them safe while traveling through fire zones while sleeping in makeshift shelters makes sense?

Y'all are like a bunch of zebras watching lions eat your striped friends.

If you're planning how to deal with a disaster, you first priority is to the living breathing beings currently in your house. You, your family, your pets, a go bag, some physical mementos if you have time.

I promise you if I had 3-5 extra minutes during an evac bugout, I would head outside and start banging down doors on my street getting people out. I'd help my next door neighbors carry their 101 year old father down the front steps and into the car. I don't care one wit about NAS drives and none of you should either.

At least once a day there's someone on a subreddit commenting about "3-2-1 backup strategy". If don't know about it, look it up now. Part of that strategy includes an offsite backup. Recent events have shown the importance of an extra-regional offsite backups; keep a backup copy far outside your region in case of a firestorm, earthquake, hurricane or flood.

We live in an age when some of our precious possesions are ephemeral and infinitely copiable. Cloud, deep cold storage, swap remote NAS backups with a distant buddy, mail or leave a drive at grandma's house. Do it daily, weekly or monthly or once a year. Do it one time. Be sure to regularly test that your backups are in fact recoverable.

If you're wondering how to save your drives during an emergency, you asked the wrong question. Good for you for asking. But, it's still wrong.

Instead, ask yourself: "How can I start making sure at least one copy of my most precious data survives a regional disaster?"

The best time to start backing up is yesterday. The next best time is today.

*Disclaimer: I am **not** some IT guru, but I have lived on this spinning marble for almost six decades and seen some shit.*
