Wow, thank you for all of the awesome comments, I'm BLOWN AWAY. I had no idea that this hobby of mine would be a topic that so many of you are interested in. So DEFINITELY, there will be more videos on this. It may take some time for me to finish my current backlog of videos, but I will definitely make more Homelab videos.

FreeNAS looks very interesting, OpenMediaVault vault might be more user friendly but FreeNAS is free and can run off a usb using the same ram already built into a computer someone probably already has, seems like a very affordable practical way to learn server/network principles that with more training and experience can lead to use as a professional grade server system supporting windows, MAC and Linux storage protocols

Not sure if this will get buried in the comments section but awesome video! It would be amazing to hear your tips/advice on: 1. How a beginner should approach a homelab (brainstorm interesting ideas, legit sources of research and info, design process, etc) 2. If you could do it over again today from scratch, how would you do it differently. And why? Also how did you do it in the first place (self explanatory I guess) Thanks for the amazing content!

As someone who is in the middle of getting a home-lab off the ground I can say wholeheartedly, "Please, sir, I want some more"! On a more serious note, I would like to see more videos focusing on a complete build out from the ground up. Also, where do you buy your equipment from? As someone who also lives in Michigan, I am interested in local groups and resources as well. Although focusing on local resources probably would not make for good KZitem content. Thank you for this amazing resource!

Very nice setup. I like how you're using Ansible and VMs. I have three large servers that I bought from a prior employer; they take eight drives each but they cost a lot of money to run them all at once. However, they have 128GB of RAM that would allow me to run one of them with VMs like you're doing. I got some great ideas from your vid about how to hone my network. Keep up the good work.

One thing that I would like to know more about is the network setup, especially how you get from the WAN into your home if you don't pay for a static IP. Staying safe while exposing stuff externally is a crucial prerequisite to adding more physical devices. It can be really easy for n00bs like me to start unintentionally exposing things to the whole wide world when starting out. Things like configuring your router, where to place any additional middleboxes, etc, would be great to know. Thanks for putting out all of this great content!

There are many dirt cheap used gigabit switches that can do inter-vlan routing and acl at wire-speed like Cisco or Juniper. Now to take advantage of that you would have the vlans terminated on the switch and then just an interface between pfsense and your network. So getting traffic graphs should come from the switch (ports) or perhaps a script that gets pf counters. It might be another fun thing to experiment with :)

Nah, there's no need for more homelab content.

While I find these setups always really cool. I always feel it's massively overkill for most households to have this much hardware. Especially when it comes to things like Raspberry pi clusters. A 8+ core server with plenty of RAM and a lot of virtualization will just do fine. Less hardware to maintain as well.

You've added a new confidence that i, as an aspiring network administrator, can make it happen at home. Your setup is astounding. Do you throttle all of your subnets so that none of them bog down further than their optimal operating speed during a max load scenario?
@LearnLinuxTV
4 жыл бұрын
Basically I throttle each subnet so that no one single node can steal all the bandwidth. Each subnet is allowed a different amount of bandwidth, based on what I want it to have or what I think is reasonable. For example, I don't see any reason for Internet of Things devices to need more than 10Mbps, and even that is probably overkill.

Homelab is an underserved market right now. I'm a 48yo tech hobbyist and, looking back over the past almost 4 decades now, I have found that I tend to get into things a couple or three years earlier than the general mass. A few years ago I dipped my toes into a home server with an overpriced and underpowered Synology box. Ditched that and this past summer started running an unRAID server, which has worked pretty flawlessly. I am very certain that, as more and more of the home pc users out there 'grow' in terms of skill and interest then homelab is the next big thing - specifically, people running home servers.

Iv'e been running Linux on and of for quit a few years now on my laptops, my distro of choice have been Debian based like Ubuntu Mate and so fourth as you know, and on my gaming desktop its Win10. Now I would love to have some sort of home server/Nas, for file sharing, media sharing, doing backups, and have the ability to access all my files on the Go. A system that is Not to overly complicated with just a terminal, but has a GUI to and is flexible ? I would be so appreciated if you had some recommendations for me ? I also forgot to mentioned that I have an old Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo Home server, which came with Windows home server, which basically was a dumb-down Windows server 2003. Now the thing that was good with it when I bought it, is that it was cheap and pretty user friendly. However I ended up using the machine for a year max because it was buggy and sort of a hit and miss, everything from the user interface to the file sharing capability's. :=( So now its just sitting and piling dust and I don't know what I should do with it ! If you have the time and some recommendations here's may mail lorrewatkins@gmail.com
