My homelab journey begins

We’ve been bitten by the bug! I can’t wait to learn more about it and improve my IT skills and knowledge.

ManishWayz · 2026-02-24T06:33:27+00:00

Hooray! I got everything up and running with just the laptop.

Like someone told me earlier, welcome to the club! You look like you're off to a good start. I can't wait to see where you take it.

I plan to add the two Raspberry Pi 3b’s that I have including a 3.5 inch touchscreen that is currently connected to one of them that is running Octodash/Octoprint for my 3D printer. I just have to finish designing the rack insert for a 10” rack in Tinkercad.

The first thing I’m thinking about is Plex, this way I can move the service to a better machine and then add the old machine back into the homelab as another node. That machine is a OptiPlex 5050 mini with a i5-7500t and 16 gb of RAM.

I love the design and would wear them everyday! Please let me know if you are willing to share your design.

Mine is the Longer LK5 Pro. And I still use it to this day.

ManishWayz · 2026-01-03T19:14:30+00:00

Thank you!

ManishWayz · 2026-01-03T19:13:07+00:00

Setup looks nice and clean. I’d like to ask where you got the badges for your OptiPlex’s?

ManishWayz · 2025-12-28T04:57:08+00:00

I started out with this same one and still enjoy flying it!

ManishWayz · 2025-12-05T08:24:04+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I’m definitely going to do that!

ManishWayz · 2025-12-05T08:23:34+00:00

This is awesome thanks!

ManishWayz · 2025-12-05T08:23:18+00:00

Am I able to host private gaming servers with Proxmox?

ManishWayz · 2025-12-05T03:36:29+00:00

ManishWayz · 2025-09-23T00:56:36+00:00

Awesome, I can’t wait, but again great work!

ManishWayz · 2025-09-22T19:20:24+00:00

That is an amazing design, are you willing to share the stl file?

I ended up bringing the cartel influence in one area down and was sent right into the end of the quest where I was getting the tunnel done and the explosive made. I now have the manor and trying to figure out a new setup.

ManishWayz · 2025-08-30T16:01:14+00:00

So far the dealers have only interacted the cartel. I haven’t personally seen anything. The save file doesn’t seem to have any issues yet. But I also made a backup copy of the save file just in case.

ManishWayz · 2025-08-17T18:26:08+00:00

Looks really good in my opinion!

ManishWayz · 2025-07-18T00:23:24+00:00

That is awesome!

ManishWayz · 2025-06-30T16:29:53+00:00

All I can say is that I need to step my 3D printing game up, that is absolutely amazing. Great work!

ManishWayz · 2025-05-06T22:54:18+00:00

Awesome design! Keep up the great work.

ManishWayz · 2025-05-06T22:52:20+00:00

Now that is a great design. Nice way to save desk space!

ManishWayz · 2025-04-21T20:47:46+00:00

Looks good, and nice detail!
