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 cables through an old chimney into the attic for exterior cameras.

I will use this for important updates when I do not want to walk to the KMM. It is old, but interesting to have.

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. I do not enjoy docks.

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, but might be used for UPS monitoring.

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 risks and nuances concerning virtualizing TrueNAS, but I PCI passthrough an LSI 9300 with custom firmware that connects to the MD1400 and MD1000. This now hosts most media tools, download clients, the Pi-hole, the Unifi controller, and Home Assistant.

My media streaming workhorse. There is a P2000 inside for hardware encoding.

My primary storage, as the backplane is faster. Though storage is more expensive here as SAS drives are required. About 144TiB in RAIDZ2.

My secondary storage for backups. A slower backplane, but SATA drives are cheaper. About 86TiB in RAIDZ2.

Filled to the brim with spare parts.

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