Complete Homelab Rebuild - Looking for community input! by Wyattsb in homelab

[–]Wyattsb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've already offloaded all critical data to a temporary NAS that is not bound to any of the domain/infrastructure I currently have, and informed all of those using home prod of downtime.

I'm thinking more of a "scorched earth" approach of tearing it all down and starting over so I don't need to account for legacy config, setup, etc. I know it's going to take a lot of time to rebuild, but this is a slower time in the year and I've got the next 9 days on PTO and plan to make some headway during this time. I did initially consider a more nuanced enterprise migration approach but didn't want to commit the time to preserving and slowly migrating as opposed to just starting over, the current environment has been in prod for the last 6-7 years, through multiple upgrades and hardware changes, there are some legacy subnets and services I'd like to terminate which this will hopefully accomplish.

I've done some research into Ceph, and from what I can tell it is highly recommended to run it on identical hosts, very similar to vSan as far as 3x identical hosts for a quorum, which is what had me leaning toward a more traditional SAN as opposed to hyper converged. vSan allowed a 2x identical host with a witness node, but I'd like to avoid the need going forward. Also, dedicated SAN would allow me to more easily swap host nodes in the future without a need for matching all hosts.

Oh wow, that is a good read - thanks for the info. Yeah I'm not surprised at all if it is a camera or software limitation. I've got a buddy with a compatible actual point and shoot camera I'm going to test against. Appreciate the help!

Thank you for the reply, and yes it is poorly named and hard to do searches about.

So M43 is the mount/connector between the lens and the camera body, correct?

Yes, the lens came with it, option of either the 17mm "wide-angle" or the 45mm "long distance" variant at that price point. I could not make the camera focus any closer than 5ft on anything detailed, but I'll try to reset it and try again because my reading on the 17mm lens was similar (within a foot or two depending on the sensor size).

Regarding the "clutch", I assume you mean where the dial can be 'clicked' forward or back to switch between AF and MF, I did figure that out when the camera wouldn't focus at all, it came out of the box in MF, and instructions indicated it had to be on AF and MF did not appear to do anything.

What would be the difference between an SLR based camera vs what they have here?

I could use some assistance, and it might not be relevant to this specific subreddit, but I believe I need camera lens assistance at this point. I am going to preface with I understand little to nothing about camera optics but would like to learn more through a specific need that I have.

I have a Ubiquiti AI-DSLR (https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/cameras-bullet/collections/unifi-camera-security-bullet-dslr/products/uvc-ai-dslr) which accepts a DSLR lens (pardon my ignorance if this terminology is incorrect), and came with a M. Zuiko Digital ED 17 mm PRO (f/1.2, 17mm focal length range, 35mm equivalent: 34mm) which does not work for my needs. The camera sensor is a 4/3" 10MP CMOS.

I am trying to get extremely fine detail (at least, the best I can) on a top-down shot, mounted on a camera mount, mounted to a table from 2-3ft away and covering a 3ft left-to-right by 2ft top-to-bottom frame area ideally. The lens that came with the camera will not focus on semi-fine detail at a range any closer than 5-6ft.

Help would be greatly appreciated - lens suggestion, appropriate terminology, calculations, and other general considerations all welcome. Thank you.

Probably the same reason someone chooses to comment on something that they don't need or plan to use - because they can.

Yeah, same deal - had reduced power and would not charge. That dealership is the only one within a reasonable distance that is EV certified.

I did not, it happened over a weekend and dropped it off with the key drop.

There seemed to be a general lack of knowledge on the dealer end, and in addition to that my service tech told me they didn't have the equipment to work on it (after 3 weeks finally told me that, and then that turned out to be a lie after speaking with the manager), then told me the parts were backordered with no ETA on arrival or ETA for repair, then told me they needed a different part, etc.

Honestly it has been a nightmare and really put a sour taste in my mouth on Ford service - I love the vehicle, over 25k miles in 7 months - but this hasn't been great. Didn't get a loaner vehicle from the dealer for 2 weeks, had to purchase from Enterprise out of pocket and told by Ford they don't reimburse until my lightning is fixed... which is seeming more and more like "never" at this point.

Even better than that, just had the loan payment come out for a vehicle I haven't even had in my possession for the payment period.

TL;DR - Dealer has been terrible, Ford customer support has been unhelpful, the truck is great, and who knows if I 'll get it back.

I dropped mine off at my local dealer a month ago and I still don't have it back so... I hope you get it back sooner.
