Hi all, long time reddit lurker, first time lemmy poster here.
This is the current state of my tiny homelab. I use it for learning and self hosting some services.
Top to bottom:
IPS modem / router
- only used as cable modem
- all other functionality is disabled
HP Elitedesk 705 G3 Mini
- Proxmox VE Host
- 4C/4T - 16GB RAM
- 128GB SSD for Boot
- 500GB NVME SSD for VMs
- replaced 2 Pi4 and still gives space for experiments
- Services: NodeRed, InfluxDB, Grafana, PiHole, Uptime Kuma, Observium
Kobol Helios64
- ARM-based NAS running Armbian
- 6C/6T - 4GB RAM
- 128GB SSD for Boot
- 3 x 1TB HDD as raid5 for storage
- Services: personal Nextcloud instance, that I use for file sharing and synchronization between my devices and also as WebDAV target for Joplin
4-Port Firewall-Appliance
- runs pfSense CE
- 4C/4T - 4GB RAM
- 128GB SSD for Boot
- manages VLANs, DHCP and reverse proxy (HAProxy)
not in picture
- managed switch: TP-Link TL-SG116E (looking to upgrade to a switch with some 2.5G Ports)
- UPS: Eaton Ellipse ECO 650
All together this pulls around 60W from the wall. Happy to answer questions.
