Started this journey in September of last year.
Was interested in upgrading my WiFi router and a NAS to upgrade my Time Capsule.
Really happy with the outcome (not so much with the power consumption lol).
The setup:
UDM-SE as a gateway. Chose it because of the PoE at the beginning.
U7-In wall is the only access point at the moment. At some point willing to upgrade it to something with 6ghz, U7 XG or similar.
USW Pro HD 24 PoE is the newest addition. I chose it over the Pro Max because of the additional SFP+ ports and the additional cost is worth having two PoE++ 10gig ports and all 2.5gig ports.
UNAS Pro was the reason for this journey. Love how easy the use and implementation is. Hate it that it has no HDD standby mode. Really hoping for that feature to come.
Raspberry Pi 5 8gb is hosting Home Assistant including Ad guard home. And a SLZB-06MU is connected for thread devices.
Mac Mini (base m4) is hosting my Portfolio website, paperless and plex (at some point).
Mac Mini 2018 (i7 16gb) windows installed via bootcamp and connected to a GL.iNet KVM Comet PoE. In Case I need windows for work.
Mac Studio (m1 ultra 64gb) is hosting some local AI, but is rarely in use (for now)
All Macs have been sorted out in my family so those where basically for free. I’m open for cool project ideas.
At some point I might install rustdesk, seems really cool to manage the computer.
At this point I am waiting for the UPS Pro to call it a day since the PDU Pro is not available in the EU.
Open for suggestions on what I can do with all the compute.
