I diagrammed out my home lab/home server setup, mostly to keep a complete overview of how everything connects. I didn't want to get bogged down in aesthetics around colour scheme, or layout -- as you can no doubt tell. After a while diagramming it started to feel like a meme where I was trying to convey some crazy conspiracy theory on a wall of pinned paperwork and connecting threads. I think I am done documenting everything. But now I am wondering how obsessive I should be about detailing every little thing and VLANs and IP assignments. I don't really care if it looks like a dog's dinner, I really just care about "okay, where does this wire go to?" Is that the right approach?

That’s mostly semantics, for me at least.

I have only one NAS, and one Proxmox host that is up 24/7, so they are in production.

I regularly tinker with those two as well, it’s all part of my lab.

This is how it works for me. I am using the homelab to learn new things. Part of that learning process is getting things into production and maintaining them. Because managing a production environment is one of the things I want to learn.
