so it's not much, but I run my entire home set up on single Ubuntu machine:

  • 64GB RAM / 16 core AMD CPU
  • 18TB in RAID (media)
  • Home Assistant (docker) for home automation
  • Plex, sonarr, radarr, etc for media server to home and remote family
  • Unifi controller (USG) in the basement

I feel I need to separate them out, but I dont really want to eliminate the PC altogether. Was thinking of moving all of the home automation/media/networking to something like a Beelink mini pc and using the ubuntu PC as a NAS.

Am I on the right path?

I had a long and detailed discussion with a buddy of mine over a beer regarding how our dream homelabs would look like if we hit the jackpot and don't need to work anymore.

I would be really interested in what cool projects you guys would do if nothing stood in your way.

My setup would look like the following:

  • Building a house with two seperate internet connections to different ISPs.
  • Solar roof with batteries
  • Two cooled rooms on the opposite of the house with identical racks
  • Ubiquiti routers, switches and APs in the whole house (I would then really take my time to setup VLANs and RADIUS)
  • Fibre everywhere
  • In each rack and in my parents house a HD6500 from Synology filled to the brim with HDDs for my massive hoarding problem
  • TV as a dashboard for all my services (would switch from homepage to graphana probably)
  • Redundancy for my Proxmox Nodes
  • Raspberry Pi Cluster (because i want to try tinkering with it)
  • KVM Switches
  • UPS in both racks with the option to gracefully shutdown everything
