    It’s grown and shrunk a lot the past 8 years of homelabbing.

    • 14c/20t CPU
    • Main storage is 78TB in Z1 (50ish TB usable)
    • 3 active VMs
    • 5 VLANs
    • Handful of 1G/2.5G switching ports
    • Nearly everything is PoE as the gods intended
    • 1 Meshtastic node that’s not visible
    • 1 5G/LTE modem that’s not plugged in
    • Router is a Mikrotik RB5009UG+S+IN
    • Switch is a Unifi USW Enterprise 24 PoE

    Adding an OPNsense Firewall soon, just to mess around with some sort of dynamic firewall capabilities.



















  • I have 3 main NASes

    78TB (52TB usable) hot storage. ZFS1

    160TB (120TB) warm storage ZFS2

    48TB (24TB) off site. ZFS mirror

    I rsync every day from hot to off site.

    And once a month I turn on my warm storage and sync it.

    Warm and hot storage is at the same location.

    Off site storage is with a family friend who I trust. Data isn’t encrypted aside from in transit. That’s something else I’d like to mess with later.

    Core vital data is sprinkled around different continents with about 10TB. I have 2 nodes in 2 countries for vital data. These are with family.

    I think I have 5 total servers.

    Cost is a lot obviously, but pieced together over several years.

    The world will end before my data gets destroyed.
