Updates to my home network/lab

[Pancake]

I posted a long time ago, but a lot has changed since then

 

First, specs (Pictures below)

 

The rack is 2 x IKEA Rast nightstands - http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/44361109/ on top of each other, with rails installed. I do wish I had a legit rack, but the space I have to work with isn't great

 

The rack is un an unventilated closet, but I did drill some vent holes in the door!

 

Starting from the top to the bottom:

* 3.5" Hard Drive cases. Great for moving drives and off-site backup

* Ripe Atlas Probe
* USB-C 3.1 SATA Dock. This is plugged into the Synology. I use this for off-site backup
* Cisco SG300-28P Switch with Monoprice SlimRun 6a cables (all 5ft)
* Cheapo brush cable management from eBay
* Synology DS1817+ (8GB RAM, Around 30TB Usable with SHR2)
* 4TB Easystore for on-site backups

 

Then we have my ESXi box, Supermicro 512-200B Chassis with the PWM Blower fan

 

* Intel Xeon E3-1270 V2 3.5GHz (4C/8T)
* SUPERMICRO MBD-X9SCM-F-O (dual LAN, IPMI etc)
* 4 x 8GB Crucial UB-ECC DDR3 1333MHz (32GB Total)
* Samsung SM961 256GB NVMe SSD (For prod VM's)
* 1u M.2 NVMe Riser - 
* Samsung 850 Pro 512GB SATA SSD (For testing VM's)
* 1u Supermicro 200w PSU 80+
* Supermicro RSC-RR1U-E8 1U 8x Riser
* Intel I350-T4 Quad Port NIC (4 x 1Gbit in a LAG)
* HP 8GB Flash Drive (ESXi Boot)

 

Then pfsense, same chassis

 

* Intel Xeon E3-1220 V2 3.1GHz (4C/4T)
* SUPERMICRO MBD-X9SCM-F-O (Dual LAN, IPMI etc)
* 2 x Samsung 4GB DDR3 1333MHz UB-ECC (8GB Total)
*  2 x Hynix 32GB SATA M.2 in a mirror
* Vantec Dual M.2 to SATA
* 1u Supermicro 200w PSU 80+

 

Continue:

 

* CyberPower PDU15M2F10R PDU - Has a readout with the amps, and a decimal. Too many just give you 1 digit which is useless since there is a MASSIVE power different between 1.0A and 1.9A.... The front outlets are great for temporary items, or plugging in a laptop if need be
* APC SMT1000RM2U 700w UPS + AP9631 SNMP Card

Outside the rack:

* UniFi AP AC Pro Outside - I hate this thing.

 

Virtual Machines:

 

* PowerChute - Prebuilt CentOS VM for shutting down ESXi host and VM's on power failure. Connects to APC SNMP Card
* BK01 - WS2016 - Runs Stablebit CloudDrive connected to OneDrive/Sharepoint. Then I use Arq to backup to there. Also runs Veeam and a few scripts to do other backup related tasks
* DL01 - Ubuntu Server 16 - Runs Deluge - This VM can only get internet over the VPN to PIA
* MS01 - PLEX, Sonnar, CouchPotato, Cardigann etc
* MON01 - LibreNMS, UniFi, Graphna (Working on it!)
* NVR - Blue Iris for my 2 IP Cams (More when I get a house!)
* MyName-VM - Windows 10 Enterprise - Used for RDP, just general stuff

All of these are on the NVMe SSD. Test VM's go on the SATA SSD

 

Pictures, with some notes here and there

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I use these for off-site backup

 

 

Ignore messy door vent!

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is an older picture, the board does not have IPMI in this picture, but you get the idea. This is my pfSense box

 

 

 

 

 

 

CodelQ solves Bufferbloat, I just wish I had better upload!

Awesome setup, very clean, I like it!

 

I'd completely forgotten about RIPE Atlas Probes. I remember wanting to get one a while back and then never did. Just submitted my application

Thanks!

 

Only just over 1000 of them in the USA, I figured I should do my part. Took around a week to arrive from The Netherlands
