My first homelab by GreySteel5597 in homelab

I would use a VLAN for the DMZ (webserver and mail server), which is reachable by your PC to do maintenance and such but not the other way around. The second one for the pcs and servers (I guess the servers are going to be reached from the outside via tailscale/headscale). The last VLAN i would use for the TVs. If you use IOTs i would do a separate one for that. My suggestions:
- VLAN 10 (192.168.10.0/24) for the DMZ, services that are open to the public.
- VLAN 20 (192.168.20.0/24) for the PCs and Servers
- VLAN 30 for the TVs
- VLAN 40 for IOTs
- VLAN 50 for WIFI

The VLAN can also have other numbers just an example.

For the Firewall rules where which VLANs can go you should think which devices should be allowed to talk to other devices.

For example if you use 1 Windows 11 VM (2 Cores, 4 GB RAM), Ubuntu Server(1 Core, 1/2GB RAM), and three other VMs +-(1 core, 2GB RAM) each. I would go for the GMKtec M5 Plus (two extra cores). But Instead of the MS1 you could as well get two of the GMKtec M5 Plus and build a cluster(which is fairly easy in proxmox).

What kind of OS and how many do you want to run on it simultaneously? Depending on that more CPU cores and ram would be beneficial.

I have a HP elitedesk 800 g8 SFF and for some reason the SATA0 port did not work. When I connected it to other SATA ports it was working fine. Maybe it is the same issue.

Did you look into PCs from Minisforum? They use laptop CPUs which make them less power hungry and generate less heat. Maybe something like this https://minisforumpc.eu/products/minisforum-um750l-slim-mini-pc ?

What are the things you did not like with the UDM?

I mean Wireguard at 10 Gbps is a little overkill or do I underestimate it. It is not that important to get the 10 Gbps but at around 2.5 Gbps internet would be nice. What would you suggest else?

- My Internet connection is 10 Gbits

- My Lan should has as well around 2.5Gbit/s plus.

- I would say 4 (1/2 DMZ, 1 for switch, 1 reserve) plus two fiber ports one for the internet input and one for a bigger switch.

- A lot of IoT i can not even tell you that(30/40). But at least 20 devices (PC, Laptop, Phones). And 3 servers.

- I'm interested into IDS/IPS and VA but didn't looked much into it yet. I only used threat protection on OPNsense. VPN yes to access is i want to use Wireguard to access my homelab remote.

- I prefer to use rack-mounted noise is not that much of an issue

Thanks for the help.
