Honestly it could very much be that I fell into the security trap. It's just that everytime I read something about "homelab best practices" VLAN's are close to the top of the list.

Maybe I ditch my plans and just establish a VLAN for IoT and guests.

    Hey there selfhosted community.

    I had big plans when I moved last year to finally setup my homelab with proper VLAN seperation. Well a stressfull move later I simply had no energy left and just threw my whole homelab and all my services in my main LAN with no seperation whatsoever.

    In how much of a world of pain am I in now when I want to switch my homelab services over in a seperate VLAN? Any recomendations or pointers to documentation for me to go through before I decide if this is something I want to do right now?

    Currently this would impact a proxmox host with 3 VM's and 1 LXC and around 20 docker images.

     

    Hey there selfhosted community.

    Does anyone here have experience with silent or mostly silent storage solutions? I would like to implement a NAS solution for my homelab and home.

    I tried a fully fledged consumer NAS (QNAP with Seagate 12 TB NAS drives) but the noise of the platters was not acceptable. Currently I have a external WD drive attached via USB to my mini PC/server but I would really love to implement some kind of redundancy in the form of a NAS from where the critical files would be backed up to Hetzner for offsite and on external drives.

    I don't need a ton of space. My most critical items are photos. As silent operation is very important I started looking into ssd NAS solutions. Does anyone have experience with Beelink ME mini? Other solutions I looked into where either overkill or horrendously expensive.

    I would really like to pull the trigger on a solution here before the prices for storage will skyrocket in the future.
