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!

    I have a pretty modest setup. This is just what’s in or on my cabinet rack.

    1. Old two bay NAS
    2. New five drive bay server I’m replacing the old NAS with and running local stable diffusion and language models on. I managed to fit my old nVidia 3070 in the rack mount case. There’s no way a card the size of a 3090 would fit
    3. Some raspberry Pi’s
    4. Rack mount firewall
    5. Old Acer monitor, keyboard
    6. Dumb PDU and an old battery backup that I replaced the batteries on
    7. An old 802.11ac WiFi router set up as just a WAP, dedicated for home automation

    Plan is to set up something like open stack but right now it’s just running unmanaged (orchestrated?) docker containers. I recently learned about ansible so may just automate the docker containers instead of figuring out open stack.

      You fit a 3070 in a 5-bay NAS?? That’s impressive! I haven’t done much with ML, but it is a very interesting field of work. I’ve seen people do some pretty crazy things with it!

      Ansible is nice, but have you heard of Terraform? Or, if you prefer programming/scripting as opposed to HCL/YAML, there is also Pulumi with lets you use terraform via a few different programming languages. (Ansible is nice though, I used to use it all the time in my lab, and it just works)
