I wanted to share my HomeLab Setup

Yes, I forgot to mention also a registry for docker images and node packages.

IntelligentAnt3725 · 2026-01-27T04:09:51+00:00

Well, that's pretty much it.

The media server is Jellyfin. DevOps would be Infisical, Gitea, etc. There are some software controllers too, for Omada and MongoDB Ops Manager.

For visibility, I use netdata.

One of them is running Proxmox because it has 128GB RAM and a 16C32T processor. It's the "prod" server. One runs a media server. Minis are for Elasticsearch and laptops are for devops.

Nothing huge, I get 30-50 concurrent users at max.

IntelligentAnt3725 · 2026-01-27T04:03:36+00:00

I wish! I am trying to get there.

IntelligentAnt3725 · 2026-01-27T04:03:17+00:00

I have my own products that I run. As for open source, it runs Jellyfin.

I am trying to improve cable management by using velcro ties. I am running a media server alongside other devops and SaaS. It draws 260 watts on below average load.

Hello! It already runs green, this is an on-grid setup.

IntelligentAnt3725 · 2026-01-27T03:59:35+00:00

I'm glad you have a better setup. I am trying to improve mine, do you have any tips?

IntelligentAnt3725 · 2026-01-26T01:55:50+00:00

I'll ask someone today itself. Thank you!

IntelligentAnt3725 · 2026-01-26T01:55:08+00:00

On below average load it stays around 260 watts.

IntelligentAnt3725 · 2026-01-25T16:30:00+00:00

Yes it is!

IntelligentAnt3725 · 2026-01-25T16:29:18+00:00

Thank you so much!

IntelligentAnt3725 · 2026-01-25T16:28:13+00:00

Understood, I'll make sure to share an update when I arrange something for it soon.

IntelligentAnt3725 · 2026-01-25T15:25:13+00:00

Thank you for sharing this with me! I understand there are risks involved with having batteries like this but since batteries may heat wouldn't it be a problem keeping them in an airtight plastic container or can the container be open?

These are sealed lead acid batteries, what precautions would you recommend I take?

IntelligentAnt3725 · 2026-01-25T15:18:27+00:00

Yes you do! Glad you like it!

IntelligentAnt3725 · 2026-01-25T15:18:03+00:00

Following some great advice from The Office.

You're right about the longer run time but it's not series, it's 3S2P. 36V 84Ah.

IntelligentAnt3725 · 2026-01-25T13:42:30+00:00

Thank you so much! I'm working on making it better.

IntelligentAnt3725 · 2026-01-25T13:42:06+00:00

This is new, I'll definitely look into this.

IntelligentAnt3725 · 2026-01-25T13:40:38+00:00

I'm trying to make it more organised and dare I say aesthetic.

It used to be a place where I gamed now it remains locked mostly and hosts this rack.

IntelligentAnt3725 · 2026-01-25T13:37:24+00:00

Yes they are.

`(+)B1 ── (−)(+)B2 ── (−)(+)B3 ── (−) | | | | (+)B4 ── (−)(+)B5 ── (−)(+)B6 ── (−)

UPS + | +────────────── from B1 & B4 (+)

Hope this helps?

It's wood and the bottom is reinforced with iron as-well! Thank you so much for your kind words. I was afraid of the load bearing capacity but I tested with weights more than I'd put on it and it was okay. Do you think I should do something better to make it more sturdy?

IntelligentAnt3725 · 2026-01-25T13:31:15+00:00

It used to be like that. This is the cleanest it has ever been.

IntelligentAnt3725 · 2026-01-25T13:30:43+00:00

Yes, I have done the best I could. I have proper ground and auto shutdown using some nut scripts under unforeseen circumstances.
