Has anyone replaced their home phone line with a self hosted VoIP solution? If so, how's the experience? by kY2iB3yH0mN8wI2h in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

yea, but this this 15 years ago. nowadays cell phones is equal to a land line.

a self hosted PBX does not give any value for a single number.

Supermicro 1U pizza box server fan noise by kY2iB3yH0mN8wI2h in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

generally 1U servers are not loud in the datacenters, that's just a myth, the main reason might be misconfiguration, or a datacenter that does not have any cooling....

if you control the fans your pizza boxes will run hotter, and might be throttling, or just shutdown completely.

running customers in your basement seems to be a horrible idea, but its your business :)

firewall and high ports? (alien.top)

This bugs me a bit so just seeking out to see what you folks do here, at lest you who work in security or have a security oriented homelab.

I do not generally allow any traffic between VLANs, all is isolated in the Switch, where different VLANs are in different routing instances (VRFs) and next-hop is my firewall. All traffic is L3.

Now when I'm testing new things and I need to login to a random web interface, at a random port I normally create an application on my firewall for that port, and add that port to a "baseline" I have for traffic from my office network to my different server networks. This works as indented and means I will never have any traffic I'm not aware of.

However this is also time consuming. So I'm thinking to allow all high ports (>1024) - for only one direction (office networks->server networks) but not sure this is a good idea either.

I'm also thinking to force (web admin X) to use 443. I could also use a web proxy that would allow high ports and use that while testing, but yea. all have their pro's and cons..

100G with space constrains? (alien.top)

Hi,

I have been using 10G for the last 6 years now, it has been working great but some workloads will require faster speed. This is not a normal homelab, more of an networking homelab for broadcasting

So I'm looking at a numer of options, mellanox, brocade, Nvidia, mikrotik etc. they are great but the depth is troublesome, it needs to be <19" depth to fit in my closet. I also would like to have 8 100G ports.

CRS504-4XQ-IN seems to be closest to what I want, but I'd like to get a few more port, to connect as much as I can with 100G.

I'm also considering 2x25G to start with, but seems equally hard to find decent switches with above criteria. Anyone running >10G in your homelab?

Any recommendations for a super cheap SAS controller? by kY2iB3yH0mN8wI2h in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

what's the plan?

Hmmm... So I sysprepped a VM (hyperV) to create a 'golden image'.... But.... by kY2iB3yH0mN8wI2h in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

I understand the overall general purpose of what sysprep is.

It seems you do not understand what sysprep does at all. Without SCVMM (iirc) you cannot create templates in Hyper-V. If you can you just sysprep the VM, shut it down, convert it to a template and you can re-deply it as many times as you want.
