Original Title: Did some clean up. Desktop upgrade. My ESXi server got an upgrade from an HPZ820 to Dell r730xd. Moved my Unraid Media server into a 4U case. Added another Supermicro chassis and motherboard. Replaced switches with Unifi ones, and a Netgear "AP" to Unifi AP's. Moved all the big guys into a rack.

Homelabbing in Germany is just stupidly expensive - how do you still do it?

For example, if you have a decent home server running at 300 watts 24/7, you will easily pay 800-900€ (825-928$) in electricity costs per year - not to mention if you have multiple servers. On top of that, in my town, internet costs of 60€ (62$) per month for a 1g downstream and 50 Mbit upstream line - if you want a synchronous line with 1g upstream, this is firstly hardly possible and secondly extremely expensive.

For the same price you can also rent a much better dedicated server on e.g. Hetzner or simply a VPS.

How do you deal with this?

You can often hear questions here: 🤔 How to document a homelab? How to keep its maintenance and development in check? And finally, how to connect everything together? 🛠️

From the very beginning, I used an Infrastructure as Code (IaaC) approach in my homelab. However, due to privacy concerns, I couldn't publish it as open source. Recently, I spent a lot of time separating sensitive information so that I could publish the rest as open source 😊

Check it out here: GitHub -

For example, Terraform defines the following resources:

🖥️ Linux containers (LXC) on Proxmox

☁️ Virtual private server in Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

🔒 Tailscale access control lists (ACLs)

Ansible roles:

🛡️ Adguard DNS

📦 Apt Cacher NG

🛠️ Backup Ninja

🐳 Docker

📹 Frigate

📊 Grafana

📈 Grafana Agent

👴 Gramps

🌈 Hyperion NG

📸 Immich

📂 Loki

📧 Mailrise

🐝 Mosqquitto

🔋 NUT

🌐 Omada Software Controller

📄 Paperless NGX

I’ve had my Proxmox Server For about a year, and I haven’t found anything worthwhile to install in about 5 months.

Right now I have some Minecraft servers, Plex and the Servarr suite, an SMB share and homepage.

What software do you guys recommend adding to my server? And how do you guys go about finding the latest and greatest in software? Currently Looking into FreshRSS to make my own RSS Feed all about Software and Tech, but I need Some Sources to draw from.

Shumi, the network engineer, complained that there are 6 CATs in the rack and he is feeling left out. Actions had to be taken to ensure that he feels comfortable and welcomed.

I wanted to share with you guys for a while, and finally decided to do so. I always wanted to have a rack with my homelab, so when we move to our new small flat I decided to go for it. Location is at the entrance, I built a cabinet for the coats and claimed a bit of the space for the rack. I asked the construction company to get empty tubes for the cables and enough power at this exact location. As you can see, it was 100% WAF, there is nothing to see except a small intake for the fans. A brief summary:

• Cabinets are IKEA METOD: they're cheap and you can modify them as you please. I cut the lower ones to have 3 drawers instead of 4.
• Rack is placed in the upper-right two doors (joined)
• Rack is made our of extruded aluminum, quite fun and cheap to make.
• Since I don't have place for accessing the back (problem!), I placed the rack into a sliding platform
• Platform is using rails for firefighters/campervans with a loading of 225kg (rack weight is around 60kg)
• Lights are LED Stripes carved into the METOD panels, with door sensor (like a fridge)
• Ventilation is also a problem, so the rack is modified to have 2 14mm fan as intake, 2 14mm fan as exhaust, with sensors at both places to monitor temperatures in & out. Controlled by an ESP32 with display
• Content of the rack:
  • Unifi network setup with UDM-SE and USW-AGG 10 Gbe
  • Low depth server with i5-13500 with 64 GB RAM and 2 + 4 TB NVMe (Samsung 990 Pro), this runs all my LXCs and VMs. Also attached to a PiKVM for remote management.
  • Synology RS1221+ with 40TB of pool capacity (half of the bays are empty)
  • Some PIs for monitoring, mission critical stuff and pihole/adguard, all powered with POE. This panel is for the non-technical people in the house, that can come here and easily reset VMs in case some it's not responding
  • Front facing switches attached to Shellys to have control on the power and remote monitoring
  • APC UPS.

It's been almost two years and it works great, temperatures are always within reasonable values (39-40 degrees). I needed to do a few maintenance tasks and the platform works really great, just slide it out and do your stuff. But I have to admit that is scary to trust such a thing with all the weight :) In any case, I did many many many calculations about every single detail (even the screws used to attach the rails), so I over dimensioned everything. Just in case!

What do you think?

PD: I love racks and I love woodworking :)
