thanks. I actually tried once to rearrange but turns out not significantly better. those poe injectors are one of the major culprit.

those aren't finalized so I don't want to tie them together.

now i keep eyeing on crs328. dont actually need the bandwidth but just for cleaner cabling & fun. rpi poe hat is so expensive though. almost can buy another pi already.

seems like they have new line ups coming soon. hopefully they have more passive cooling products that sticks to the casing.

I don't have a UPS

Better to get one. During blackout, still have network / internet and it may provide some protection

I think maybe someone can create a homelab thread here in LYN. I will share my homelab rack setup for you guys, in case anyone is thinking to build one.

nice.. how's pihole nowadays?

Used to use it a lot but eventually hit into issues

1. sometimes they block alipay and i have trouble performing payment

2. youtube history doesn't work

3. some apps will keep retry to send analytics nonstop (since blocked by pihole) and i will see like a super long bar to amazonaws endpoint

4. google search ads doesn't work



and I couldnt identify where you install the proxmox.. I used to have a HP sff pc for proxmox but hit into weird linux issues. did some google search says not using ecc ram. hows the power consumption for entire setup?


is the white thing above rb5009 the unifi onu? whats your router before you get your rb5009?


been thinking to get a ds220+ as well but my friend say new version coming soon. sounds fun to have local version of google photos.

I don't know about your pihole problem, but I use it with no problem. Sometimes if the pihole block some websites, i just add it into whitelist.
I installed proxmox on thinkstation PC which is using Xeon processor, I just added a 10Gbps nic into it and setting it to install sophos firewall vm, windows vm and also linux vm for pihole use.
Yes the white modem above rb5009 is the unifi onu. I am planning to use SFP GPON but currently the GPON I bought had some problems and I can't really use it, need to order other version.
The Synology NAS I used mainly for file and photo backup as well as Plex media server and also to run some dockerization stuff and currently routed to other network using VPS fixed public IP.

cool, might revisit pi-hole soon.

seems like server cpu is more suitable to install proxmox.

what do you do with docker in NAS? I see a lot of people do this but don't quite understand why run docker inside celeron cpu unit with low amount of ram.

also, did you google image the logo for your diagram one by one?
EDIT: nvm search seems working good in draw io

Nice, I envy you...

I use DS918+ too. 8Gb RAM.

One big UPS there

Using DSM7 the resource for using docker is quite low, highest is only when I the docker images need update and restart the container. Btw I am using 16GB RAM for my Synology DS918+. The paper says it only support maximum 8GB, turns out you can add it max 16GB no problem, been using it for almost 2 years already.

Haha the UPS i bought from carousell for only RM350 with 1.5kVA. Sadly it does not come with rackmount kit and finding one is quite hard in Malaysia, there is a lot on ebay but the shipping cost is much more expensive the item itself haha, that is why you can see I am using 1U fujitsu server as my mounting below, else the UPS will sink inside the rack.

are you running reverse proxy on the VPS hosts to expose the services hosted on the synology?

I am, I am using both internal reverse proxy and cloudflare service to expose my server to public internet. Only port 80 and 443 are exposed, other ports like SMB and SSH need to use VPN to access. Mostly I will connect to my VPN if I am browsing using my mobile data.

Where did you buy the rack?

Here is the link. Mine is 15U but depth only limited to 550mm so you will not fit a standard server that mostly have 600mm in minimum depth let alone poweredge that is about 700mm. But it will do just for my homelab.

12U / 15U Open Server Rack ( 4 post open rack)

and I thought I was crazy to hook up all my core network to the UPS...even the TM ONU runs on PoE power

nice to see another homelabber. my setup in MY house is just a 4U rack with 1U SuperMicro server, UPS, HPE 24p switch, TP-link PoE+ switch, MikroTik hapac2 as router and 3 Aruba APs for WiFi.

mainly running plex, AdGuard home, hosting my website and some other stuffs on proxmox.

in JP, I run a 1U SuperMicro below my work desk to host a nextcloud instance and Mac mini at home to lower my home electric bill

Yea before I achieved this I could only watch and scroll at subreddit homelab. But this open frame 15U rack does not enough for me, I still got a lot more to put probably getting a 24U or 28U in the future.

I am looking for RB5009

Where to get the cheapest

Tq all the master. I am new in network le.

Seen it on shopee asking for rm900 but I never buy from the shop also.

No more

Still have

i trust only china doll. I don't trust anything from china
