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?

    Get VLANs working, proper IOT network isolation, and Nextcloud as my primary document storage. If that first one didn’t bring down my homelab entry time I try I’d be more inclined.

      VLANs for the win! Was a difficult process for me too when i first setup my Omada stack, but got there in the end. Very nice to have it sorted. While you’re at it, you might want to look into having a seperate wifi for guests! I at least have a very limited guest wifi, with a QR code guests can scan when they come in to my house - neat little thing for them, plus i dont have to worry about their devices on my network.
