What are your Homelab goals for 2025? (slrpnk.net)

Personally will be trying to transform my server which is currently in a fractal R5 case, into a small-ish Homelab rack, combined with all my network equipment. Will require complete relocation of all network equipment in the house as well as cables so it will be a bit of a project. Also on the lookout for a good quality rack so let me know if you have any recs. Still unsure if u want to do full width rack or mini. Part of me really want the UDM Pro from Unifi..

What are your goals and thing you want to accomplish during 2025?

Last year I wanted to set up a budget media PC and got enamored by this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCDmHljsinY

I got a 600 G3 with the 4560 processor, installed Debian onto it and hooked it to my 4k TV mainly to run immich and stremio.

Immich runs just fine, though I have gotten too fast behind its upgrades and having less knowledge about Docker, I'm afraid to update immich. Need to figure that out.

But what disappointed me was that my good quality videos (even the downloaded ones) are choppy to run (unlike the fluid expectations from the video above) and I don't really know what I should look into to make it better.

Hardware Haven is one of my favs, so much inspiration to gain from that channel!

Buy a NAS , sell my old gaming pc (acting as 1 node in my proxmox cluster of 2), buy a second mini pc, learn more about backups and fallbacks and all that fun stuff

Finalise my physical network to have at least one available port in every essential room & build a new home server/NAS.

While not really for my hosting, I want to upgrade the Wi-Fi speeds in my home, currently running an eero setup that provides good coverage, but the speed seems poor when transferring large files around the home.

Not sure what to get, but this is my goal.

Wired backhaul?

Great goal! Good networking is jolly important. Best of luck bud :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

I just reached all my goals at the end of 2024. So stretch goal in my case.

40 gig network for private ceph traffic. Do aggregation on all the nodes for redundancy. Maybe expand to 5 nodes from 3.

Get VLANs working, proper IOT network isolation, and Nextcloud as my primary document storage. If that first one didn't bring down my homelab entry time I try I'd be more inclined.

Replace proxmox with incus.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I'm on proxmox too and now very curious as to why you want to move to incus.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Given the topic, the response and the location I'm going to go with "because it seems neat and could be fun".

Now, since I now know if it I'm going to give it a crack. 😆

I want to look into quadlets

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

They're actually quite annoying, the documentation is there but makes a lot of assumptions about what you already know.

I prefer podman systemd generate...just makes more sense to me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

A pain in the ass. Great but did not fit my needs. Dependent containers would fail a lot during upgrades. Kept trying to figure it out and then just said WTF am I doing this all works fine in docker.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Oh, that doesn't sound great. One reason I was looking into it was because Docker seemingly doesn't allow optional mounts which has been causing some issues. My home assistant is using a network attached USB device through a raspberry pi somewhere else in the house. Sometimes it would disconnect and take down my entire home assistant instance.
