Figured we’d start this community off with a question about what you’re running in your homelab!
This could be anything from hardware to software to things your running in the cloud (#cloudlab).
Hardware and diagram pics are always welcome!
Actually just an odroid with homeassistant and zigbee2mqtt. There are 5 thin clients traveling to my house to became a k8s cluster and store a lot of things. Arch and artix mirrors among other things.
Currently:
#24TB Synology NAS w/ docker running:
- Calibre web
- SabNZBd
- Transmission
#Home server with Proxmox hypervisor
VM1:
- Home assistant
VM2:
- AMP game server
VM3 docker w/ Portainer (Misc docker containers currently playing with):
- Homepage
- Memos
- pwndrop
- picsur
- remotely
- uptime kuma
- changedetector
- watchtower
- youtube-dl
- jdownloader2
VM4 docker w/ Portainer (Media VM):
- Sonarr
- Radarr
- Prowlarr
- Jellyfin
- Plex
- Kavita
- organizr
- overseerr
- readarr
VM5 Discord bots and hosts:
- several different discord bots for my servers
VM6:
- NGINX proxy manager
Lemmy!
As well as other stuff. I’ll post more when I’m not on mobile.
Same! Spun up a kubernetes cluster to host it (among other things).
Very nice. I’m just going straight Docker. Every time I dive into kubernetes I get a little frustrated! Ran docker swarm for a while but even that didn’t work out well for me.
Totally fair, they are both pretty complicated and some things don’t work well in them, for example, kbin :/
Hi, could you tell me about the port-forward setup you had to do to host Lemmy?
Dell Optiplex 3070 (i3 9100T, 8GB RAM) with 5x 4TB external HDDs. I bought these hard drives over the years not knowing one day they end up being on my UnRAID server. I have a couple of services setup on docker. I have readarr, radarr, sonarr, plex, jellyfin, overseerr services running. Currently I haven’t setup a cache pool. The drives are setup as unassigned devices. I have a 500GB NVMe as main drive along with a 500GB SSD parity drive. So far so good!
I’m currently running a temporary solution, because my old system said goodbye. I have new parts here, but I didn’t have the time to assemble them yet. I’m running a Ryzen 5 2600 with 16 GB RAM, 1TB HDD space and 128GB cache in two old cases. The setup is scuffed, but it works until I get to build the new rig. Specs:
That’s not bad! Good specs, and it works in a pinch for sure.
What are you planning for your new build?
More storage space and cache. I will be upgrading from 2x1TB to 4x4TB. (At least that is the current plan) Sadly this means that I have to completely rebuild my rig since the current rig is an old prebuild, which only provides 1 HDD slot.
Ah, I know those struggles with not being able to fit all the drives you want. But, bright side, new hardware!
That’s true.
I’m looking forward to it. It will be nice to finally move my stuff from the server of a m8. (and maybe start my own Lemmy instance)
Lemmy has been fun to run, and once the docker install docs get sorted out it shouldn’t be too bad to get set up either.
yeah, though I have a weird network. I have to route the traffic through a VPN n’ stuff. It’ll be interesting that’s for sure.
Oh, from a VPS or something? Is your exit IP NAT’d?
I’m running a kubernetes cluster with 7 nodes in my #cloudlab.
Oh awesome! I’d love to go to the cloud, but my provider of choice is DO and that’s very expensive. Who are you with?
I rented the servers from hetzner. “Total HA” by having stuff in Germany and Finland.
I’ll have to check that out, I’m in Canada though so idk how bad latency would be. But I usually front things with Cloudflare anyways, so shouldn’t be too bad.
They offer servers in the US, too.
Ah, that must be new? I don’t think they had those last time I checked.
That’s possible. I am not really following what’s available in the US.
@jax too much and it never ends. I just migrated and reconfigured too many things over the last couple weeks.
I just recently set up a GitOps lab following the guide/template at: https://github.com/onedr0p/flux-cluster-template. I didn’t get much further (since I just set it up last night), but I’m hoping to use it to host my #fediverse apps at https://cloudhub.social.
I’m running an overkill AMD 3950X on an ASRock Rack X470D4U as well as a 16-bay DAS and a bunch of Unifi switches, which has really bitten me in the ass when the energy prices exploded. Then again, I run so many services on it that it might still be worth it.
Was running Rancher until a year ago but I switched to Portainer in Proxmox.
Currently hosting 83 services ranging from Nextcloud to Jellyfin and Bitwarden. Also, Lemmy since yesterday.
Wow, 83 services?! That’s a lot.
That doesn’t sound too bad, running that many services on a VPS would be significantly more expensive imo.
