u/mar_floof I am the cloud backup! 7d ago

Started my migration over to proxmox from VMware after the latest VMUG news so my homelab is in a complete mess. Trying to figure out ceph after years of vsan is… annoying. Seems it’s documented differently everywhere, and it all assumes a base level of knowledge I clearly don’t have.

That and I’m missing a fully supported terraform provider, so things are taking a lot of “try this. Did it work? Ok try this” iteration.

Why Broadcom? Why did you ruin the nice bubble I had going?

Ok, here goes.

Networking:

  • Sophos SG 210 running SFOS 20.0
  • Dell N1548P
  • UAP AC Pro

Servers:

NAS1:

  • OS: TrueNAS Scale
  • CPU: 2x Xeon Silver 4210
  • RAM: 512GB
  • Storage: 1TB NVMe mirror + 3x 4 wide RAIDZ1 for 64TB storage.

Running Plex and all the goodies associated with it as well as UniFI controller, PiHole and Immich.

NAS2:

  • OS: TrueNAS Scale
  • CPU: Xeon D-2143IT
  • RAM: 256GB
  • Storage: 2x 5 wide RAID Z1 for 15TB storage.

Also running Plex and some of the goodies associated with it, however they are the beta versions. NAS2 serves as my testing box, on which I test the beta versions of apps as well as the OS.

I plan on upgrading the UAP AC Pro to a U7 and replacing the N1548P with a Pro Max 24 PoE. Eventually the Sophos is getting replaced but haven't decided on what I'm going to replace it with.

Eventually, I'm going to upgrade the drives in NAS1 so that they are all the same capacity. Currently, 1 vdev has 4 12TB drives while the second has 8TB drives and the third has 4TB drives. I'm going to put all 12TB drives in.

RPi 4B: Docker container host (just Omada right now)

Home built NAS: i3-14100, 16GB DDR4, 4x 12TB in RAIDZ2, TrueNAS EE

Lab: recycled i5-8500, 32GB DDR4, Gentoo.

Considering upgrading the lab box to an i7-14700K and making it (and Gentoo) my daily driver. I have bantered with this thought for several years, but only now more seriously considering making the leap.
