Yes, Solar does help some, but only on sunny days. In the summer my solar (53 panels) produces about 15kw for most of the day, but in the winter most days peak at 3-5kw, and sometimes 0. In net Solar makes about 1/3 of the power that I use.. so it helps, but I would need another 100 panels to be grid independent.

I still pretty sure I would use most of it 😅 Even though I am only 18 I have 6 servers running 24/7 and I keep a VPN running so my team of 6 nerdy best friends can have remote access to my home lab. I'm already looking at upgrading my 100 TB NAS. My media encoders currently process over a Terabyte of data a day on average, and don't even get me started on the game servers running 😂 It still remains true that this is overkill for home but I'm 75% of my way done with a Network Engineering degree focused on data center work. So I have created virtual networks as big or larger then the one shown in here so that I can get experience and test things that I am learning; but nothing beats hands on experience. I already live life like Tony Stark only taking breaks from my home lab when I need too, because I love this stuff! So I can only imagine how my needs and abilities will grow over my career :)

[@HTWW]

@jeffsponaugle6339 ... Into 'one of' the 'lower garage' labs. So let's break this statement down a little... You have multiple labs in your house. Normally, multiple simply means >1. You, however, have at least 2 labs in your 'lower' garage. Meaning that you have at least two garages. And, since you had to specify which garage you're talking about, I'm assuming that you gave labs in both/all of them. ... Are you running the Oregon branch of the Institute (Fallout)? Should we be worried? Do you offer unpaid internships in exchange for security guarantees? Edit: all jokes aside, this setup of yours looks absolutely epic. I used to work at a 'flag carrier' of a relatively big hotel chain, and there I had occasional access to their server room (I think it ran the majority of the VM array for the whole company). It can't ever compare. There, I would see filthy racks caked with dust and grime, poor ventilation, non-existent temperature control, dim lighting... And here... This! Major props to you, my man!

Mostly corporate stuff. You can store. Maybe KZbin video editing, maybe some corporate files etc. No one spends money for plex media servers because all the data is mostly considered p1r@cy. Trust me, your ISP will see your t0®®ents of 50+ gb per movie and impose speed cap or terminate your connection. Because it has legal consequences on their ISP licence. Typical homelab or self hoisted companies do need such equipment maybe to hoist their own websites, apps, GPU clusters, nas for employees for maybe sharing files for editing etc. As long as you earn from these, it's good. Earning $1 million a year and investing $1 million for equipment is not much because roi is just 1 year. Then profit profit minus the cost of maintenance and recurring investment like internet leased line, firewall subscription etc. Note: I do not recommended mining or p1r@cy of games/movies/tv shows etc. He surely uses his homelab to support and run his business.

My jaw literally dropped once I saw your "Homelab" setup, very organized and I can see the time you spent on getting all the details of your setups just right with patch panels, patch cabling and etc. Top tier server room. Questions regarding the setup, if you have time to give some details 🙂 The cooling unit(s) was not that visible in the video, but I can imagine you do have one in place there as your setup pulls over +6 KwH, do you have convectors setup in you home lab? Also how is the air cycled through your setup? From what I can tell it's a "all around cooling" room and air is actively being cooled or do you have hot and cold aisle/regions? Also you mentioned IPMI cards, Are you using Dell's iDrac cards or whats the model on those? Apologies if my terminology is not spot on, as English is not my first language 😅

The things you own will eventually own you. Your time and attention are better spent with loved ones and family. Of course, it will take you 30 years to realize this. How do I know? You are my past, and I am your future. Nice toys BTW.

Bro has Google in his basement.

[@JeremyMeeler]

One question -- why? I love the idea of a server closet in my basement, but at this level it is way more cost effective to just colo it in a legitimate datacenter.

[@guytech7310]

That would costs a fortune to colo

Homelab? You may have gone too far. My advice, get an infrastructure job like mine, where you occasionally go to data centers, do it for 30+ years, then you will no longer have an obsession with data centers, racks, etc, and you'll be satisfied with a powerful tower PC, and a few mini PCs. We have now migrated 1200 servers from ESX on-prem to Azure, so the office Comms room, in my office, is about the same as your homelab. When I think of your energy bill I come out in a cold sweat !

This is the best comment so far... I just showed this to my wife and told her if you see me ever building something like this kick me out of the house :D

[@jeffsponaugle6339]

Indeed - I did infrastructure.. built up data centers, BGP peering, lots of switching and routing, but that was in the late 90s as things were just starting to boom. I still enjoy this level of building perhaps because it is not my full time job. None the less I think any CTO should be able to not just talk architecture and strategy but also do and build.

​@@jeffsponaugle6339absolutely. If you can do it you certainly have an understanding of what it can do and can't, diagnosing problems gives insight, and honestly there is a pleasure in getting new systems installed, hooked up and doing useful work. Your other half tho, must have superhuman understanding. It is nice to see a small DC in somebody's home, but I wouldn't be happy with your electricity bill. But if you're happy that's what matters. 15-20 years ago if I had the space I might have done something similar.

[@hariranormal5584]

lol i'd like to do a DC job honestly. I have no experience so yeah

[@ShanJ-g2x]

Bro, I was network admin for a university and our data center did not look half as good. And ours was clean. Very Nice

[@reynold.lariza]

Why did I get this recommendation now? Last month I started building my homelab+networking, and I was like "BOY! MY HOMELAB IS SICK! I CAN NOW RUN EVERYTHING!!!", now... I'm sitting here typing, feeling like an ant... XD But seriously, I like the clean setup :)
