Home Lab Tour 2024: Servers, Apps, Docker, and more!

[@cease70]

I love all these videos at the end of the year when all my favorite KZbinrs go through the hardware and software they're running in their labs so I can get ideas for all the irresponsible purchases I'll want to make heading into the new year...

Great video and nice list. Broadcom is destroying VMWare and we have been moving many clients over to XCP-ng. I love FreshRSS what plugins are you using with it?

Thank you for sharing.

would love to see a video about power management, mainly ups contingency during blackouts and organized automatic shutdowns across devices. I've found this to be particularly challenging with a mix of devices.

Still in virtualization here.... not thinking in switching to docker swarm/kubernetes in short time, but this phpIpam I will install ASAP... great video!

Thanks for the share, Brandon! Love these end of the year walkthrough because they help me create my project list for next year. Do you have any videos or more info on the weather station you mentioned in the video?

Tk U for sharing. I am interested in learning Promox on HP mini desktops. Currently using VMWare Workstation Pro for my VMs.

what kind of bandwidth are you getting from your ceph setup? - I attempted a 5 node proxmox cluster on top of a few dell sff mini pc's with 2tb nvme drives running on each with the stock version of ceph baked into proxmox and I was extremely disappointed with performance. I tested by spinning up a windows vm in proxmox with ceph as the storage and got 748/134mb/s for sequential workloads and 10.48/.09mb/s for rnd4k which I found to be unusable - and I suspect that will get worse when running more than a few vms that were storage bandwidth dependent. I couldn't imagine running anything that needs a large database on something like that. I'm thinking about scuttling my ceph setup (homelab testing), and trying out linstor as i've heard it's more performant for small clusters.

I am having performance issues too... my zabbix keeps alerting "read/write responses too high"... I'm already thinking in abandon ceph and build a openmediavault NAS instead... using one of the machine nodes... Here i have a 3 node cluster....

can you make a video on how did you configure Vmware esxi and Vcenter with the featers you mentioned?

I like the content, I just feel like I'm being read to and not spoken to. Please find a way to just talk to the camera and not read your notes to us.
