I just use ssh for management. Monitoring is handled by nagios.

Shouldn't use the Xfinity router anyway, that thing is fuckin garbage.

This is the one I'm using as well. I use it to keep my work laptop running Linux in sync with the various Windows desktops I use in our offices. Works great for keeping my work keepass vault in sync.

Wow what a throwback

Windows 11 on the main desktop for gaming reasons. Currently Pop_OS on the laptop, considering moving to Arch. My servers all run Debian or Ubuntu.

Doesn't come with a power adapter and has weird power requirements. Wouldn't power up at all with a standard 5V 1A wall plug, needed 5V 4A.

Apart from that it's been perfectly fine. I wish other OS than the armbian they provide supported this CPU.

freshRSS. I'm using the linuxserver.io docker image.

Nothing is really too much.

I have too much hardware to swap out to go 10G networking or I totally would.

The point of my homelab is for me to learn and break stuff in a safe environment, so if that leads me down a Kubernetes rabbit hole at some point so be it.

If you have a Synology their Surveillance Station product is amazing and will work with basically any IP camera brand.

I'd run my own mail server if deliverability wasn't such a huge hassle.

Basically if you're not google or Microsoft... Don't even bother.

I only rolled my own Wireguard VPN because I wanted to learn how things worked on the backend - I've suggested Tailscale to many other people, its just a really well designed product.

It's astonishing to me how much they're giving away for free.

I have an rsync script that pulls a backup every night from my truenas server to my Synology.

I've been thinking about setting up something with rsync.net so I have a cloud copy of my most important files.
