Personally will be trying to transform my server which is currently in a fractal R5 case, into a small-ish Homelab rack, combined with all my network equipment. Will require complete relocation of all network equipment in the house as well as cables so it will be a bit of a project. Also on the lookout for a good quality rack so let me know if you have any recs. Still unsure if u want to do full width rack or mini. Part of me really want the UDM Pro from Unifi…

What are your goals and thing you want to accomplish during 2025?

  • Hardware perspective i need a nas. I got myself some piece of acer oem thats not too shit just need a case and some drives (i dont wanna just make stack of drives on top of the stack of old oems i call a homelab).

    Am getting starlink installed cos shitty rural aussie internet is shit. So gonna have to do some fucking around to make that work.

    Would like some local media reccommendation algorithm (can probs just write some code to dump jellyfin into openwebui and task an llm).

    Gotta set up an image gen ai and hook that up to openwebui.

    Gotta set up an email server to make authelia notifications not just dumped to a file.

    Ohh and i got literaly no backups of anything (well except my docker composes that are on git).

    Other than that we will see what i want.
