HomeLab config as of 2023-03-19
This is my initial HomeLab configuration.
HomeLab Hardware
- Sanus CFR2127 27U Enclosed 19" audio/computer rack
- 1U ADJ PC-100A Power distribution with 8 independently switched outlets
- IBM ThinkVision 9417-AB1 VGA monitor (ancient!)
- Logitech K400+ wireless keyboard/mouse combo
- 1U Cable Matters 24-port keystone patch panel with Qty 21 CAT6 and Qty 2 HDMI keystones
- Two 8-port managed gigabit switches
- CyberPower BL1450U 1450VA Uninterruptable Power Supply
- ISP-managed router with 4 available gigabit ports
- Eero mesh WiFi for the household
- Two ancient x86 nodes donated by a friend: (Thanks, Doug!)
- Intel DH77DF Mini-ITX mobo with an Intel Core i5-3570K CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB 2.5" SDD
- Intel DQ67EP Mini-ITX mobo with an Intel Core i5-2400 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 500GB 2.5" SDD
- Dell OptiPlex Micro 5060 (I love these!):
- Intel Q370 mobo with an Intel Core i5-8500T CPU, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB M.2 NVMe SSD
- One Synology DiskStation DS1019+ 5-Bay NAS
- One Raspberry Pi 4B w/ 2GB RAM
- One Raspberry Pi Pico
- Three Raspberry Pi Pico W’s
HomeLab Software
- All three x86 boxes are currently running Proxmox VE 7.3-4 virtualization environment
- PFsense 2.6.0-RELEASE is my firewall/router running as a virtualized machine on one Proxmox host
- The Raspberry Pi 4B is running Pi-Hole
- The Pico and one of the Pico W’s are both set up as temperature sensors for the rack. The non-WiFi Pico shows the temperature on 7-segment LED displays. The WiFi Pico serves the temperature via port 80.
- A Ubunu Linux instance on one of the Proxmox servers polls and logs the temperature from the Pico W every 5 minutes.
- I had k3s and Rancher up and running for a bit as VM’s on the Proxmox systems, but I tore it all down to start over.
HomeLab Network
- WAN network, DHCP served by ISP router
- LAN network, DHCP served by PFsense router (production/household)
- LAB network, DHCP served by PFsense router (scratch space)
