TV Stand Homelab
Been building my home lab for a few months now and they've been hanging out in my TV stand shelves. I think it came out pretty good. Just need to do some proper cable management.

Got a Proxmox cluster going with the Mini PC and the laptop. Laptop is just for failover. The Pis are part of a 3-node Docker swarm with an Ubuntu VM. I've really been liking the Omada lineup from TP-Link. Bit of a learning curve, but once I got set up, it's been really easy setting up my network.
Here's what I got running:
- Omada Controller VM
- 2 x RHEL IDM servers
- 2 x Pi-holes w/ Unbound and Gravity Sync
- ARR Stack
- OpenVAS CE Vulnerability Scanner
- STIG Manager
- Grafana
- RHEL 7 - 10 test VMs
- Ubuntu Docker Node w/ iGPU passthrough for transcoding
My 4 x 16 TB drives just came in, so I'll be setting that stuff up on the NAS soon. Gotta migrate my data and recreate the RAID setup. I've been using random hard drives that have been sitting around at home.
Next plan is an UPS for the homelab and NVMe SSDs for the Pi's. I'll maybe get another Mini PC for a proper Proxmox cluster.
