I'm definitely in need of a guide on these topics as well. I've dabbled in this type of tech, but I'm really not a programmer/developer, and don't have the time to learn how. That doesn't make it any less appealing. I currently run home assistant on an old laptop, and have a low-end synology system. It would be great to learn how to better manage the hardware and software a little more. I need a getting started/getting down to basics, instead of the piece-meal approach I've been using.

Agreed. With Open Source tech, KZfaqrs have paved the way to show the 'good' tech and this reaps it's benefits forwards for all parties. But all of us who want to build a home lab, have probably started but not gotten far. For instance I have a a Terramaster NAS running TrueNAS but I can never really get the Docker apps to run properly. I have had multiple failed attempts at running Home assistant and NextCloud. I have Photo Prism running but I have lost photos in between syncs. It would be nice to see what hardware is working for you and maybe we can use that as a benchmark for home. I'm a senior IT engineer in my company and have TrueNAS, XCP-NG etc but on enterprise level kit. It's a hard transition to find out what works at home. I might be speaking for a lot of us where we are either Windows lead users but engineer skills. Transitioning to Open Source is a lot harder especially for troubleshooting, but we want to go down the route to hone the skills, save some cash and do things in the right way.

Good stuff! I've learned a lot from setting up my current Raspberry cluster (which is more of a learning exercise than something I actually do stuff with), but I have some new hardware coming in where I'll start over fresh and use all the stuff I've learned. I do have a TrueNAS running (on metal), I tend to use it to quickly test things due to how easy they are to install there to see if they're something I want to use, and then I make a "real" Terraform config for it to run on the cluster.
@chrisdixon5241 9 ай бұрын
Great video, and very timely as I need to redo my own setup! It slowly evolved, having new bits tacked on, rather that being properly planned and needs tending to. I'd definitely be interested in more in-depth, perhaps covering the hardware and how the various services are deployed and interconnected - for example what is the firewall physically running on and is opnSense running on it or in a container on proxmox and just communicating to it via some APIs.

Excellent insight for a newcomer to the homelab/server world. Have just installed TrueNAS Core and upgraded to Scale on a salvaged 2011 desktop machine as an experiment, so I'm just getting a feel for the most popular apps that folks are running before taking the next steps. Really useful overview and nice to hear the Scottish brogue again ( I spent 21 years working in Lanarkshire for one of the few remaining semiconductor facilities before retiring back in my Welsh homeland with my Scottish spouse).

"Let's watch GoT" and then lights dim down, blinds roll down, tv Starts, jellyfin starts the next episode.

Never heard of that kind of dashboard. I am blessed/plagued by the very same memory. Passwords, IPs and product activation codes too. Hence my home is useless to anybody but me. I have a continuous worry about what happens if I am no longer there. From a hardware point of view all switches and controls work like normal if HA goes away, but there is so much more. Really hoping you can do some tutorials. Thank you!

For example I used to run a big freenas server and a 4bay QNAP. But I largely keep these off (for power consumption reasons) I would love to do everything you said (keeping everything on 24/7), but couldn't help thinking what your overall power use was- with all these servers running 24/7 both at home and off site?? And the cost! And what about UPS backup? What do you use so everything stays clean and up and running during all the power outages? ? Do you run solar? Home battery? Thanks

Good video! Nice to hear what other likeminded geeks (in a good way) are using! I actually scaled back my IT set up at home a huge amount over the last few years as i just wanted some simplicity and not to have to do my day job out of hours too, not to mention when the electricity prices were sky rocketing! My set up used to sit there sinking back 600W of power...no more! I do still have a little baby "server" (effecient and compact desktop) and a Synology NAS that i use for my media requirements and even then the are most often only on during the cheap electric hours overnight to perform downloads and updates, etc. If i want to watch something hosted on them i have rigged up HA to use WOL :) Other than that, its just a basic Linksys Velop network, layer 2 Netgear switches a Pi 4 for HA and a server running TrueNAS Scale that i only fire up very rarely as it is used for testing personal and work solutions.

Also, maybe consider using core. Hassos makes sense if you've got nowhere else to run your containers, but IMHO if you're already managin dockers elsewhere anyway it just gets in your way, may as well have HA with the other containers and not be limited by add-ons.

Would love a deep dive into site-to-site vpn solution. Great video! Glad we share so many solutions

What's your site to site speed? Synch or asynch? Failover to remote site has always intrigued me but I've been afraid to try it. Lucky for me I've been in places with robust failsafes on-site, but it's a project that I would like to tackle.

Maybe I missed this: You running Homer on a separate VM or where exactly did you place that? Just not familiar with that one. What are you labbing on for hardware? You have a big beefy server class machine or just an old desktop? I had a blackbox fan less I've been thinking of repurposing to a proxmox setup.

I just create a Dashboard in Home Assistant, paired with Kiosk mode for non-authed users in public/communal spaces.

Great video Lewis, very inspiring! I've been looking to get started with a proper home lab setup for some time now. Any hardware recommendations? Not sure what to get. My general use case would be TrueNAS, Plex/Jellyfin and OPNsense with VPN (and some room for other future projects).

Thanks Tommy! I would probably look into building something with some desktop hardware to be honest, depends on the budget though really! Discord would be a great place to discuss!

@@EverythingSmartHome Cheers. I'll look into it.

Do you have proxmox backup server installed as a VM on truenas, or on bare metal, or some other way?
@ericktowrfhernandezjimenez909 9 ай бұрын
What about infrastructure? On which hw you run it? Thanks in advance...

What's the hardware you're using for the home lab servers? I'm into the market to replace my current one and also switching to Proxmox from hyper-V (I know, I know) Maybe you got some great recommendations?
