In this post I will hopefully detail my entire home network. Some of this has been in separate posts explaining single items, but nowhere do I have all of the network in one post with all the changes since last year. Here is a full shot of the rack in

    Hi OP. If you’re reading this, I have a few questions:

    1. You’re using the Linode box as the server, on which you forward ports for your services. Am I to assume that you somehow access your homelab via your VPN using the Linode box too? Usually people would access their lab at home directly.
    2. Wouldn’t a whitebox build for your NAS save power?
    3. What are you using both switches for? Are you running out of ports?
    4. Since you’re running VMWare, are you running VMs for every service? Why not containers?
    5. Even if most of the content on your blog is static, how are you hosting it for it to load so quickly? Are you using some sort of CDN in front of your Linode box to cache the static assets like pictures?

    It was great reading about your lab. I’ll try and follow your blog on RSS if you have a feed. Thanks.
