• two wans
  • lots of vlans
  • 32vcpu hypervisor with gpu passthrough
  • 25gbps san running off the nas

Everything I do is mostly with VMs, the hypervisor is diskless pxe booting off the SAN. I’ve been cleaning up my lab, it used to be a plank of wood https://discuss.online/post/44690398

There is a nanokvm hanging off the hypervisor (rs232,atx header, hid) which makes remote rebuilds quite painless. I love my inexpensive nanokvm.

What does your homelab look like?

    I like the whale tail! The chuwi is a low power pc? The clear plastic behind the speaker is another? Your doing wifi and wired right next to each other? KVM behind the PSP? NAS on the right?

I don’t know if my setup is a good way to do it, I’m just starting I have just internet to help me :) as of right know it look like it’s working but it can be just ork warhamer 40k magic, don’t really know how it really work but just have to believe.

        That is awesome! it’s not a mess - it’s lovingly artisanal home made spaghetti!

        that little chuwy is running vms? what kind of cpu do you have in there?

        KVM behind the psp - is that a keyboard video mouse switching device behind your handheld gaming console?

        it’s all magic, don’t let that magic smoke out!

          Yes chuwy run vms with proxmox, it have an AMD Ryzen 7 CPU, more than enough for the moment (to be fair I bought is last month 😂) That keyboard is there cause I had issue with migration, everything is fine now but it is still there) the box behind my chuwi is Philips light box to synchronise light with my tv. It is not an homelab thing but since this happy mess is below my tv xD
