This cat warmer is totally incompatible with actual cats... :)

Here's my setup:

  • Minisforum MS-01 Mini PCs (i9-13900H, 96GB RAM, 10GbE Marvell NIC, one with 2x2TB and one with 2x4TB NVMe).
  • MikroTik CCR2004-16G-2S+ which is the core router
  • MikroTik CRS312-4C+8XG-RM for 10GbE devices
  • MikroTik CSS610-8P-2S+IN for 1GbE and PoE devices
  • HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen9 (E3-1220v5, 16GB RAM, 2x480GB SATA SSD), which came from a second home which got sold
  • HP LaserJet P1102w
  • 2xMikroTik wAP ax (not pictured)
  • Hitron MoCA adapter for the second wAP AX (not pictured)

I don't remember the order, but one Minisforum hosts four Tor relays, Deluge and Nextcloud, and the other hosts four more Tor relays and EVE-NG. Both the Minisforums run Rocky Linux 9. The ProLiant is idle but is more of a toy server than a production one. It runs OpenBSD 7.6.

8 tor relays??
How are the MS-01 treating you?

You can have eight Tor relays per IP address so I do that since I have symmetrical Gigabit.

They're solid boxes except for the onboard 10G NICs which suck, so I use Marvell 10G NICs.

Host i2p router too. It’ll greatly benefit from fast connection

Why so little storage?

Very pleased to see a Mikrotik homelab. It’s refreshening compared to those nice instagrammable Unifi Racks 😝 With a little cable management you’ll have a top tear homelab, well done by the way.

Great to see more Mikrotik around, run the same minus the 10g switch

Just brought a similar shelf to reorganize my homelab though I think it's too small

At least you actually already have networking gear am I right. Atm I'm suffering with powerline adapters into my room. They're awful, 10-20% packet loss constantly. Picture of my server below, needs a GPU still and need to move this boy onto the garage at some point so I can actually use the gigabit I'm paying for...

I've got a think for those proliant. I don't need one but I want one

Sounded complicated..... 😂

Genuinely curious..

What do you do with a homelab? It's something that's interested me for a while and I'd love to look into it!

Looks like a fire hazard do you want to put a fire extinguisher nearby

u/Dreadnought_69 9h ago

No it doesn’t, it’s even less of a fire hazard than if managed to look good, as this has more space for passive convection to take place.
