This is configured with two subnets: one for wireless and everyday devices, the other exclusively for servers. I DNS forward preserving local entries to a Pi-hole that will be mentioned below.

Full 48-port PoE at 500 watts. Above and below are patch panels, weaving in the everyday network from the top and server network from the bottom. The two servers are connected via SFP+ and I ran fiber to my desktop via one of the SFP ports because it seemed funny. I plan to route PoE network cables through an old chimney into the attic for cameras.

I will use this for important updates when I do not want to walk to the KMM.

The keyboard is stained with my tears. Both the KVM and KMM were generous gifts from a relative that runs SaveMyServer.

Holds my work laptop, which I remote into in lieu of a dock.

I used to run the Unifi controller and Pi-hole here, but I was worried about long-term reliability and uptime with the SD cards. This is now dormant.

A Proxmox server housing an Ubuntu server VM and TrueNAS scale VM. The Ubuntu server VM hosts a kube cluster with public ingresses for things internet-facing: game servers and websites.

The TrueNAS scale VM is an experiment. I understand the nuances with virtualizing TrueNAS, but I PCI passthrough an LSI 9300 with custom firmware that connects to the MD1400 and MD1000. This now hosts most local tools with TrueCharts: all of my media management (the *arrs), download clients (on VPNS, thank you), the Pi-hole, the Unifi controller, and Home Assistant.

My media streaming workhorse. There is a P2000 inside for hardware encoding. Usually 2-6 concurrent streams.

My primary storage, as the backplane is faster. Storage is more expensive here though because this requires SAS drives. About 72TiB in RAIDZ2.

My secondary storage for backups. A slower backplane, but SATA drives are cheaper. About 43TiB in RAIDZ2.

Filled to the brim with failed trials and spare parts.

The rack uses around 600-800W, so I have limited time for a graceful shutdown in the event of a power outage. I plan on using one of the idle Raspberry Pis for this. There is also a lot of inefficient power consumption and waste heat. I'm not managing it well at all.
