You have become my favourite UA-camr, your videos are super informative and easy to follow. I'm an infrastructure engineer but your videos have helped me on my path to DevOps. Thank you so much.
I think for using few instances just need to write them as main/backup DNS in the DHCP server, then sync can be done with gravity-sync or some "manual" scripts
Tim! Congrats on the over 64k subs sir, always good to see someone do good, great tour, and nice job on the homelab upgrades. My next upgrades will be load balancing, and redundancy, I'll be looking through library for the how to's. Looking forward to the new content!
I do not know if you have one, but an fire extinguisher is a big must in a server room :D Other then that, awesome tour. Really liked it and hopefully i can soon get my server room in order.
Dang, I wish I could dedicate an entire room to this stuff too! I've only got a small closet so raspberry pis in a Kubernetes cluster are running most of my services. I've got an old PC I'm using to run some Plex stuff, hopefully I can upgrade that soon!
Maybe at some point Graphics cards are working on pis and you can throw away that old PC and save some energy with another Raspberry Pi + GPU for Plex/Jellyfin instead :P
Love the tour! So many great ideas in there. :) My next necessary move is building a NAS. I have all the components I want to use (from old builds) but just need to find a case with removeable storage and good airflow that can support an ATX board.
Well I just upgraded to (2) Dell R-620 servers. One is running TrueNAS Core, the other Proxmox. Deciding what to do with the 610, might just turn that into storage. Just installed a UDM pro Dream machine. Which is living up to it's name, as far as Network Security is a factor. Setting up VPN's, World wide threat security, and Identifying servers are a dream. But I have to admit that the HD Homerun caught my eye. As our provider is raising rates ...again.
I love the pegboard idea instead of trying to shove that onto a shelf. I'm just putting together my rack now and the worst part is having my cable modem, Hue and Hubitat just sitting freely on the shelf.
WOW! That looks sick! The wall has seen major improvements since last year! Well done! One small thing - try to decrease the angle at which the hue hub power wire goes in. Or just give it some slack 👍 It might save some headache in the long-run.
I'd honestly say you're better off with two 24 port switches than a single 48. Partly because you have more total POE power available but mostly because you can move the most important devices to a single switch if one dies, giving you a kind of redundancy. If you had a 48 and it failed, you'd have nothing.
Fantastic setup, really inspiring video. This type of lab is one of these things I’m planning when (if?) I move to a house. As always one concern when I see lab like this: how much the electricity cost? For your lab I think it’s in a range of 1k USD/year but would be great if you could share your number. Ah! One more point: how about cooling? Any issues while running it w/o air conditioning? Love your videos, please keep sharing your attitude, passion and knowledge 👍
Great setup! My next upgrade is to actually get backups in place for my setup. You mention you have your PC conversion server making a local backup but that you also have a cloud backup, could you say what service/application you use for your cloud backups? Also I wonder if you might consider going over your backup scheme for such a complex setup as a video topic? E.g., you have a virtualized docker host, do you back up the virtual disk image file? The docker compose and persistent volume files on that disk? "Configuration backups" exported from the apps you have containerized? All or some combination of the above? Do you just keep a copy of the latest or do you have some form of incremental backup and retention going? It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on what you choose to back up at what level and why.
Cool home lab I just picked up an i3 desktop I'll be converting into a storage server for now. Planning between the onboard sata and later an hba to kit it out. Your storage rack gave me some good ideas Thank you
How did you managed to add separate instance of traefik on RPi? And who decides when it needs to pass traffic through it? I'm using unifi security gateway and I can only forward 443/80 ports to the one IP, so I'm using floating IP with keepalived for that and then using few synced instances of traefik (with swarm and glusterfs). Very isteresting how did you managed to make it Hight Available! :)
11:53 @TechnoTim great video! I am using your pi-wol script. Quick question. In your script HOSTNUM=0 does that need to be modified to the number of hosts in the list? How does the string of hosts Correlate to the string of Mac addresses? Example: host 4 in the list was down but the script attempted to send packets to the number 1 Mac address in list vs matching number 4 Mac address. Thanks man!
I'd keep the footage - it's part of your history man, you've gotta keep it!! The way I'd do it is to get a whack of 3TB SAS drives (if you watch for sales, you should still be able to get them for $6-8/TB); connect it to some other system you're not typically using, any old dell or whatever. Set up a script that sends a WoL packet to that server once a month or whatever to boot the server, zfs send the changes, then power down the server after. Super cheap way to have a backup system which holds your older data in a cold-tier-like way
If youd like a copy of the script I use, lemme know and I'll sanitize it and send it over. It's really pretty simple - so simple, it's never broken... yet *knocks on wood* 😅 I'm sure you could knock it out in no time, but if it saves you reinventing the wheel, why not right? Lol
@@TechnoTim true you have to pop a ZigBee stick into it. I've having a great time with home assistant consolidating all my ZigBee, zwave, wifi and cloud devices to work together
For sure! I love HA too, used it for a while and it was great. I could still use my hue hub and have HA control it, it's just that there was a period of time when it didn't support anything from Nest, which was a deal breaker for me. I think it's better now, might have to take a look again!
That's why I plan to run my system from off grid DC Solar PV. In 🇱🇻 we don't have quite as high as electricity price as in Germany :) Either Dual glass PV or PVT panels EPEVER mppt 5kW charge controller Ajustuble BMS for cyle life. Prismatic LFP cells HD Plex PSU 3x 27" 1440p IPS monitors with 12v input Waiting for AMD 6000 CPU, so midrange CPU, etc.
I'm planning a similar (but smaller) project and the whole time I thought where to put my Hue Bridge and WiFi access point (inside is not an option). Seeing your wall at 0:19 just hit me: My preferred rack has rails in the front and the back. A simple 2U mesh like panel on the backside and those things can be placed there. So thanks for the inspiration. ;-)
Hey! This was tough to figure out but I ended up creating stand offs by splitting a 2x4 and mounting that to the wall, then using hanger bolts amzn.to/3Hp2AJ2 and wing nuts
@@TechnoTim Related follow-up. I'm curious how you're attaching things like the fiber modem, Hue Bridge, Raspberry PI, etc to the metal pegboard. No obvious attachment hardware. I see a few zip ties but a lot of them are just floating - magnets perhaps?
You should be able to remove the fiber modem and directly plug the fiber SFP connector in the UDM Pro, removing that crappy modem from the network path altogether. Otherwise nice setup!
For me I scored a cheep ryzen 7 2700x For like $167 if I do a quick conversion and it's going to be my first rack mount pc and new Xcp-ng host for my first cluster
You should look into compressing the old youtube archival footage with something like tdarr. Will automatically go through and compress video files using ffmpeg (and gpu acceleration if you have them) across multiple different nodes. and then save the completed data, either in place or in a new folder. All runnable from docker. Bonus benefit is it will can also encode your plex media to all the same format and codec. eg i have set mine to convert all my plex media to hvec with mkv container to save on sotrage space. It would also probably be a cool video series to set it all up, especially across different nodes etc.
Probably isn't looks awesome but competely pointless and overkill. You don't need a rack this fully loaded to run some basic automation and other bits.
I'm looking for a TrueNAS storage solution. Yours seems like something I could do with 1U SM server and NetApp chassis. If you were going to do it again today would you have done something different?
I cannot for the life of me get TrueNas Scale; running an AMD Ryzen 3 2200g 16gig ram; to show a Display when I am trying to setup a VM. When I Boot the Machine & Click "Display" to show the VM Post & boot the ISO, something Flashes in the Middle of the screen but disappears Instantly.... System resources show something is going on as resources are being used, but I cannot see anything the VM is doing when trying to access the server from my MacMini in Safari.... I cannot find anything or anyone having this issue....
Looks great! Did you have trouble with your NetApp chassis not reading Drive bay 0 correctly? I've got 2 4246 chassis to a R840 and both do the same thing.
I’m currently working on some network configuration changes in my homelab. I’m actually trying to isolate my 2 server machines from the rest of my home network, but also keep inter-net communication. So doing some cool stuff with route tables, firewlling. But the real reason I’m doing this is I want to start diskless net booting one server from my other storage server
Awesome video Tim. I love your videos. I am planning to virtualize my bare metal pfSense installation and Unifi Controller using Proxmox very soon. My machine has 4GB RAM, will it be enough for Promox Host + pfSense VM + Unifi Controller VM.
Huge fan of your channel and work! Very inspiring Would you be able to share the amount of money you poured into this home lab just to get a sense? While this is great playground to learn a bunch of cool stuff, an average person doesn't need such heavy IT firepower.
Great videos. I have 2 netapp ds4243, ussing iom3 and iom12. Currently not running but i dont have the hba controller. What are you ussing? DS4243 work ussing iom12? Thanks!!
If memory serves me right you are running home assistant, right? If so, why do you use the HUE bridge instead of a zigbee stick like the conbee II with zigbee2mqtt? Awesome lab btw :) looks amazing
@@TechnoTim Cool, I am still not sure if they support the nest smoke detectors though. I sure hope so since I got em as well and hope to integrate them :)
Hey Tim! Your homelab is amazing! Could you share us the script to ping and wake up servers you run on the raspberry pi 0? Could be very useful! Thanks
Hi, what slide rails do you use for the chenbro case? I have a similar chenbro case, but the rails I got, can only be mounted, such that it uses half a U on top and bottom more
What's the next thing you want to upgrade in your HomeLab?
server cabinet 😐, now i have raspberry Pi's and NUC sitting on a plastic fruit basket.
Bought a new supermicro board X10SRL-F-O for a E5-2680 V3. With new memory
Storage from hard disk to SSD!
I need a sexy server case to replace my supermicro workstation chassis.
Can you share The Pi Zero Code?
My Inner Child: _"Yay, lots of blinky lights!"_
My outer self! “Yay, lots of blinky lights!”
I just did my rack tour. Then today I ordered a new server and 8x12TB drives. It really is never done :-D
I saw it! So awesome! Wish I could get higher density drives like that!
Home labs are never ending 🤓
This is the most ridiculously over-engineered home lab I've ever seen. I love it. Keep cranking out the great content, Tim
Haha! Thanks!
You have become my favourite UA-camr, your videos are super informative and easy to follow. I'm an infrastructure engineer but your videos have helped me on my path to DevOps. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much!
This looks great Tim. Time to redo my rack as well. Thanks for the inspiration
2022 energy ouch! Love the setup, big wows!
I would love to hear how did you managed to have more then one instance of pihole synced and balanced!
I think for using few instances just need to write them as main/backup DNS in the DHCP server, then sync can be done with gravity-sync or some "manual" scripts

I do not know if you have one, but an fire extinguisher is a big must in a server room :D
Other then that, awesome tour.
Really liked it and hopefully i can soon get my server room in order.
Good call! Thank you!
@@TechnoTim In addition to an ABC fire extinguisher, I would recommended a D fire extinguisher also.
Dang, I wish I could dedicate an entire room to this stuff too! I've only got a small closet so raspberry pis in a Kubernetes cluster are running most of my services. I've got an old PC I'm using to run some Plex stuff, hopefully I can upgrade that soon!

Maybe at some point Graphics cards are working on pis and you can throw away that old PC and save some energy with another Raspberry Pi + GPU for Plex/Jellyfin instead :P

My next necessary move is building a NAS. I have all the components I want to use (from old builds) but just need to find a case with removeable storage and good airflow that can support an ATX board.
That's so cool! It's like something outta star trek!

Awesome! Congrats on server. Yes, HDHomerun is aweomse
Great video Tim! Look’s awesome. Looking forward to see what you do next!
Thanks 👍
Whoever said those patch cables catch fire are crazy. They are used in AWS and Aure datacenters. Presumably GCP datacenters as well.
I love the pegboard idea instead of trying to shove that onto a shelf. I'm just putting together my rack now and the worst part is having my cable modem, Hue and Hubitat just sitting freely on the shelf.
As a homelab and home grow enthusiast, that was a grow room haha.
3 things I hold dear to me. My AV/Server rack, grow room, and my wife.
Cool tour, you should be proud of the changes you have wrought! Congrats and best wishes for a productive 2022.
Thank you!
hey tim, sweet set up dude i appreciate you sharing, thanks
Thank you!
*grabs extra large popcorn*
🍿🍿
Awesome video. I'm new to home labs and realize I have a lot to learn. However, I at least have a hardware guide, because of your video.
What is your monthly power bill?
Electrocution board anyone? lol looks pretty though!
I'm really glad I found this channel! This is awesome!

I’ve been waiting for this! Thanks Tim!
Hope you like it!
When you walk into a server room the first thing you notice is the air conditioning lmfao hopefully not a i.t guy 😂 😅 🤣
I am both drooling and feeling ashamed of my home lab setup. Time to level up, methinks.
We all start somewhere!
Thank you for sharing! Great to see how you do things, gives me lot of ideas
You are so welcome!
That was 100% a grow room they had to pass off as something practical for listing. I would bet my entire homelab on it. ;)

Now, Home Assistant is the bomb! Program your own IOT and get off the web!
Reduce power consumption without affecting existing system and network deployments :)

how loud/quiet is in that room? Would be nice if you recorded a bit of real audio from there for a few seconds...

Looks great! Did you have trouble with your NetApp chassis not reading Drive bay 0 correctly? I've got 2 4246 chassis to a R840 and both do the same thing.
Mine works fine!
Just swap the 24 port switch for the 48 port switch as you will probably get nearly what you paid for it on eBay.
