I want to look into quadlets

I'm still in the middle of a K8s migration. It's overkill for a home user, but I want the upskilling.

I've got a QNAP NAS with self-managed linux for storage, and a MS-01 with an RTX A2000 for compute. They're connected over 10Gb SFP+. I'm more than half way done, especially considering I mostly know what I'm doing now.

I still need to figure out the idiomatically right way to schedule pods with their storage, but I got GPU workloads going recently. Next up is migrate the last of the docker-compose from the storage node.

I want to build a whole new server, starting with a wooden case that makes it perfectly silent (but allows for good air flow).

Btw: does anybody know what bad things actually happen if there is no metal cage that blocks all the radio?

Rebuilding my main router to work with 10gbe fiber that recently became available here. Although it is a tad expensive, so I am not actually sure yet if I will upgrade my contract.

Top 1 for me would be a strong backup mechanism, and by that I mean something that is tested. Currently I have restic in place but I don't even know if in case of a disaster the backups are ok.

And considering my lack of time, I would be happy with just that.

I am doing exactly the same as what the OP is doing. In addition to that, I will unify my beelink mini PC proxmox server and our old Intel atom NAS into one rack server with AMD EPYC, proxmox and truenas in a VM.

I sure hope our landlord and the Internet operator can agree on the operator finally bringing fiber cables to all apartments. Then I would have fast enough uplink to my homelab.

Loving all these goals and ideas!

Lots to think about and put on the to do list!

Great question and I'm loving the action.

All I need to figure out is how to replicate one trunas pool to another trunas machine as a backup.

replication tasks are all failing, rsync is taking absolutely forever, and I need my backup, I feel naked!

I'm due a backup and other than that I hope nothing breaks

Add an NVMe cache to my server and upgrade RAM if pricing permits.

From the software side there are a lot of open feature requests I keep adding to my backlog, like setting up a mail archive, reconfiguring my network (separate IoT devices into separate VLANs), maybe reconfigure some of my containers, …

• Setup my two offsite backups at work and family home.
• Decide if I want more storage or to start deleting some media.
• Setup a work server.
• Something fun?

Finish my migration to my local Kubernetes cluster. Tired of running a mix of vms, docker, and bare metal. I got it setup and a few things, just have to power through.

I also need to bump the drive size in my NAS as I’m running low and want to leverage it more, not less. (Pods use PVs hosted on the NAS over NFS or iSCSI).

And get my offsite backups going again, I had to move this last year and it put a real damper on my goals for last year so there’s a lot of “got the stuff just have to make it work”.

Edit: the UDM Pro is pretty nice. That, a rack and a 2.5G enterprise switch were last year’s acquisitions.

Move from Ubuntu to Debian and add more cameras to frigate.

Nothing fancy but I found an old RPI3 and want to selfhost Vaultwarden and piped on that thing to give my parents a way to watch YouTube without those nasty ads and give them a proper and easy way to store their password. (Over wireguard tunnel)

Also If the universe aligns buy a N100 or 200? To host my own router/switch setup and finally take advantage of my 5Gbit fiber 🫤. I still need to figure out how I get WiFi AP to work with a N100...

Not much but I have a lot other things to figure out but mostly software wise :).

I'm designing a modular rack shelf mounted 3D printed server case. I hope to finish it by moving my backup server to the new case.

I want to move my 4x SFP+ from their current MicroTik switch to my new Brocade. Then I'm very strongly debating running both VM and Ceph over the same 10Gbps connections, removing the ugly USB Ethernet dongles from my three Proxmox Lenovo M920q boxes.

After that? Maybe look at finally migrating Vault off my ClusterHat to Kubernetes.

At some point I need to migrate off Hyper-V. Probably to Proxmox.

Ugh. I don’t wanna.

It would be to replace my 4-bay Synology DS918 NAS with something with more drive bays and 10 Gbit connectivity
