The latter, it’s all 3D printed rackmounts

That sounds like a good opportunity for offsite backup!
- Comment on Finished my 10" rack (for now) 1 day ago:
Thanks!

Yeah, couldn’t resist the sticker :D

They are connected to the mini PC below. This mainboard has 4 connectors.
- Comment on Finished my 10" rack (for now) 1 day ago:
Yeah maybe I’ll try to fit in some faster Ethernet adapters at some point, but currently it’s mostly just the daily VM snapshots and since those are automated, the speed isn’t that important anyways. Just in case of a potential recovery.
Offsite backup at some family member’s place is planned at some point as well, but not fully thought through yet.

No, WAN is the family lan. It’s connected to one of the actual router’s ports (some Fritzbox connected to the ISP). 192.168.1 is inactive, I was just messing around with it when I got the unit.

I’m all on SSDs since I don’t need that much storage, so 2.5 is what I need anyways. There’s a 3x ZFS mirror of 1.8TB SSDs in there, 4th bay is currently empty.

K8S is a whole different approach and I find it to be a lot more complex, but you would not need virtual machines. If all your applications are running in containers anyways, you could consider it. Finding a good solution for persistent storage is probably the most important design decision.

What do you actually need to run on your server? I’d look into downsizing. A single small form factor computer or even a newer Raspi can do a lot these days.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday again! 1 day ago:
Most of the stuff will somewhat work, but you’ll introduce side effects sooner or later by using commands that might work but are not the proper ones and alter unrelated things. At some point those will likely bite you and you have no idea where it’s coming from. I’d suggest to check at least what the commands you are copying are doing.

Oh that sucks! One would think that after that long, it’d be somewhat established.
- Comment on Finished my 10" rack (for now) 1 day ago:
Almost correct! 1. is just a firewall, the router is not in the rack. I wanted to have this separate from the “family lan”. 6. is a mini PC to which the drives are connected, acting as a NAS.
- Comment on Finished my 10" rack (for now) 1 day ago:
I think 19" is still the standard one, 10" is getting more and more popular and there’s some fringe other widths mostly for niche use based on 3D printed parts.

I don’t know Duplicati or Kopia, im mostly just using VM snapshots as backups. I store them in an NFS Share on my NAS.
I just posted my Minilab, check my history - I’m also using tiny Lenovos. m920q should be able to do anything you want it!
- Comment on Finished my 10" rack (for now) 1 day ago:
It’s an Olmaster one that fits a 5,25" bay. It has 4 SATA connectors in the back and a single Molex for power. The SSDs can easily be swapped in or out.
It’s this or something very similar: de.aliexpress.com/i/4001152236337.html?gatewayAda…

I have running OPNsense as well and was looking for OPEN VPN on it as well, but I’m not decided yet. I wonder if Android clients are any better.
- Comment on [Weekly thread] How is everyone doing with their home improvements? 1 day ago:
Thanks! My wife found out somehow, most home improvement stores here have specific paint for it but this one is two component stuff from Epodex. Painting is easy, most of the work is preparing the underground.

- Comment on How do you document your Homelab? 1 day ago:
I started to put it all in my selfhosted bookstack and that works well for me. I also automated a good part of my setup with Ansible, so I can just check how the Playbook did things if I forgot.

Thanks a lot!

Mostly finished the small bathroom. Replaced floor tiling because the old ones became loose, painted the wall tiles because they were ugly, painted the rest of the walls (fake wood) to match the rest. Removing silicone was by far the most bothersome task.
Need to redo some of the silicone and add wood strips where the tiles meet the fake wood plus some little tasks here and there but it’s usable again.

Yes, “Kein Gott, kein Staat, kein Patriarchat” and similar ones are the German versions of “No gods no masters”. Got it from Kaoskvlt
- Comment on Finished my 10" rack (for now) 1 day ago:
Since most rackmounts are 3d printed, everyone with a little knowledge could just add 2" to the files. The rails are width-agnostic. The power strips could be hard to find in 12", but I’m sure printing 2" extenders is possible as well!
- Comment on Finished my 10" rack (for now) 1 day ago:
Oh, is it the Ikea one? My wife has that one and it looks very similar indeed! The cabinet is Ikea as well admittedly.
- Comment on Finished my 10" rack (for now) 1 day ago:
They’re great, super neat small computers and available used for little money.
- Comment on Finished my 10" rack (for now) 1 day ago:
Got it in parts from different sources. I’ve generally been looking for used parts. The rails and screws are from Retourenking, the shelf and the blinds from Kleinanzeigen and the power strips from 25now.
If you’re looking for a single source to buy new, check the Assmann Digitus stuff. I think they’re available at Amazon.
- Comment on Finished my 10" rack (for now) 1 day ago:
Thanks! Got it all printed from a friend, fortunately there’s plenty STLs out there.
Some people are selling printed mounts for common devices on Etsy but the ones I found were horrendously expensive.

It’s in a small cabinet, there’s no desk in the picture
