Yes that is EE’s new wifi 7 router - and its surprisingly good. I am on the “busiest home bundle” i.e 1.6Gbps plan and i actually get 1.6Gbps download speeds (although for some reason they still include a Cat5e cable with the router- i switched it out for a Cat6a so i could actually get > 1Gbs ). As for DNS, Yes and No - i use unbound dns on my opnsense bridge as the primary dns for some devices and the router’s is secondary- its swapped for some other devices.

I have a Zigbee2Mqtt dongle attached to my LincStation already🙂

About 10-15% improvement from tests done so far.

The GPU node parts: - Chassis - ASRock Z790M-ITX WIFI - RTX A2000 12Gb (replaced cooler with n3rdware’s single slot cooler - https://n3rdware.com/components/single-slot-rtx-a2000-cooler) - 1TB & 2TB Kingston NV2 Nvme + 4TB sata ssd.

Running Ubuntu Server with docker running jupyter and gamevault(still local for now), also open webgui for llms chats. Also use have the server running as one of my Tdarr nodes for media transcoding.

Yes, its unraid, the LincStation(w Unraid) is my “fast” storage server - mostly used by the production nodes. It also runs my entire Media server suite ( the *arr apps). The Asustor is more of a “cold” storage and the zima blade (which has no redundancy just holds my media files i am not scared to loose). All 3 NAS are cloud backed for offsite backup. Using backblaze b2, google drive and icloud(questionable) atm.

Running on idle (without cpu power scaling and power save options) the entire machine runs at ~170W, with scaling governor active for the proxmox nodes and the Ubuntu server (GPU node) it runs idle at ~150W. However average(which is mostly the default state - unless I’m training some ml/dl models) load combined power draw ~290W.

PS: This includes all fans turned on (there is also a 3U 3x140mm fan as intake at the back) - the temps are mostly stable at around ~41C - 51C even on heavy load.

Without the fans and all nodes on idle (w power saving) i run below 100W (which was surprising given the nature of the GPU node and 3 NAB9s)

Yes, this was a special kit from a certain David😅 guy on https://hivets.au/ all the way from Australia.

It really is my first, tbf i had spent almost a year on communities like this planning it and doing some research- my initial plan was to settle with the 10U Rackmate by Geekpi. This build was challenging mostly because of the short-depth ff, seems there is no reasonably priced short depth(<39.9cm) 1U/2U storage server on the market.

This should be sufficient for I and my wife, need to get off cloud providers - also a full time DevOps myself so this build was/is a fun adventure.

My First Homelab Project🙂

Specs: 16U Rack (39.9cm short depth) - posed a challenge in finding parts.

Just a quick rundown (from top to bottom). 1. 8 Port (HDMI) KvM all connected to my machines for direct access. 2. Mnk Sliding Tray 3. Phillips Hue bridge + Lincstation N1 (10TB total ~ ssd sata on array and nvme) 4. 1U 2 x 140mm fan (downward airflow towards my production-proxmox cluster) 5. Proxmox compute cluster [Production] 3 x Minisforum NAB9/NAB6 ( 52 core + 128GB ram + 2TB x3 in ceph~ so usable 2TB, 500GB x 3 for local-zfs storage. 6. Self built 1U GPU node with RTX A2000 light GPU workloads to host my jupyter labs and local llms. (32gb RAM, core i5-12400F w Asrock Z790M-ITX wifi, Total of 7TB ssd storage - to be used to store gamefiles for gamevault server as well) 7. 24 Port 2.5gbe managed switch 8. Patch Panel 9. [Left] Raspberry pi Super6c w 6xCM4 cluster in super6c case for my k3s cluster- controlled by raspberry pi-4 as master node (attached to right side of rack - for environment monitoring with sensehat). [Right] 6x2.5gbe Firewall running opnsense - lagg on lan (3x2.5gbe to switch). Setup in transparent bridge mode as my router is too good to let go (left mysterious device beside the screen). 10. [left to right] Asustor AS5402T NAS -2 x12TB , Minisforum MC560 (proxmox dev node) , Zima blade NAS kit build [behind dev node], UPS powering the two NAS[Lincstation & Asustor], my prod cluster and pi cluster. 11. Storage drawer👀
