Homelab Update

I have upgraded my home lab from a simple wall mountable rack to a media / network rack. Which I then added a wood top to use as desk space for a 3D Printer.

Other changes include:

  • A second Nighthawk I had laying around and made it a network wide VPN using DD-WRT.
  • 5 Rack mounted Raspberry Pi 4s
  • Netgear 16 Port POE Switch to power the Pis
  • Dell Optiplex running OPNSENSE firewall
  • Dell T5600 running Ubuntu Server. This runs a full stack of containers that power the media server, ex: Plex.
