  • two wans
  • lots of vlans
  • 32vcpu hypervisor with gpu passthrough
  • 25gbps san running off the nas

Everything I do is mostly with VMs, the hypervisor is diskless pxe booting off the SAN. I've been cleaning up my lab, it used to be a plank of wood https://discuss.online/post/44690398

There is a nanokvm hanging off the hypervisor (rs232,atx header, hid) which makes remote rebuilds quite painless. I love my inexpensive nanokvm.

What does your homelab look like?

  • Mikrotik router
  • TP-Link PoE 24 port switch
  • 3x HP ProDesk 600 G2 - 32GB RAM 1TB SSD
  • 1x HP EliteDeak 800 G5 - 32GB 1TB SSD
  • 1x Raspberry Pi 8GB - 1TB SSD
  • Synology 220+ NAS -14TB RAID1
  • Cyberpower UPS

3 ProDesks are kubernetes control plane nodes and the others are all workers. There are probably 250+ pods running on there. Sadly the UPS only provides about 20 minutes of power, but it keeps internet, WiFi, and cameras up too so its not too bad.

I really want to rebuild the NAS and build a beefy worker with a GPU but component pricea are just absurd.

    oh, i love the colours! Are your mini-pcs sagging in the middle? I think you might need a shelf!

    The mikrotik gets external internet access from the while cable? You have a patch panel - that's awesome.

    128GiB of ram across your HPs! nice! What do you use all that memory for? 250 pods is impressive.

    Why is the NAS sitting on foam? vibration dampening?

    My UPS is only used to shutdown the NAS gracefully, if i lose power the whole thing goes off in 30s.

    Yeah, the intel arc gpus are not so bad, and they support sriov!
