This video called me poor in 25 different ways..😢😂
Sorry!
@@TechnoTimWhat was the total cost of everything
Good network admin can easily stole all this rack from work 😅
@@savvyshopperr You don't ask that question to the homelabbers.
@savvyshopperr if I had to guess, about a house mortgage
That's enough to power a reasonably sized office to a pretty high standard, that is no longer a home lab, that is an entire production network
There's a subreddit for that! forget /r/homelab, it's /r/homedataserver
Most offices don’t even need 2.5 Gb Ethernet for regular users.
@@sylviam6535multigig to APs is, however, pretty standard now.
Most offices run off of a bootleg Microsoft Office account and a shared outlook account 😅
1gig is en😂
"home lab" = he runns multiple moon missions
Wouldn't something like today's average phone be able to run hundreds of "moon missions" with its power if we compare it to the computer used in 1969?
@@zedus4042still believe moon landing is real
@@zedus4042 a Casio solar calculator has more horsepower that the apollo 11 mission
@@Cryo_Gen lmao yeah, that's why I thought that a modern phone could probably run hundreds or thousands of Apollo type missions.
I have similar, plugged into my neighbours power
We almost all started like this 😂 keep going. Upgrade if necessary - not for flex!
Im running a mini office pc with proxmox. That's all i need at the moment. It works and its cheap! With this minimal setup i host a pi-hole, bitwarden and a Fileserver. 😅
My wallet hurts looking at this. But my heart yearns.
You and me both, man. You and me both...
To be honest, I bet his power bill isn't bad. His 48 port POE switch is probably using the most power as a single device and the rest are barely sipping. The specs on the 48 port is 720W of total POE power and up to 150W to run the actual unit at full tilt. The next highest sipper might be the hypervisor. The rest are barely doing any power consumption. I love nucs for clusters/hypervisors. The power savings are too good and small form factor.
Oh yeah i raise you: old pc sitting in the corner hooked up to my router
Now show us ur electricity bill.
$0... He probably has an Enphase/SolarEdge/Tesla rig.
@abel4776, what would the monthly be for the loan to buy that system?
@@TK27319 Solar system? I'm guessing 15k to 30k.
That is a home office business expense. It doesn't matter what the power bill is, the portion required to power the rack is a tax deduction.
@@abel4776 ; Yeah, that's my guess and even that might not be enough...
I think a good word to summarize your set up would be overkill.
I love it!
and this my electricity bill 😂
Hi Tim, love the setup. Are you planning on making a end of year "What software do i run in my homelab" type video, going over that part? We've seen your hardware and it'll be nice to see what you're running on it now, and perhaps what you plan on running on it in 2024 :)
That's the plan! I do it every year!
Fantastic, looking forward to the video. My homelab grew a lot in 2023 and I'm looking around for ideas!
At this point, I don't think it qualifies as a home lab. I've seen businesses with worst setup.
This must be where all the CZcams ad rev goes
Ha! I wish it paid for more than 1u of it 🤣
Your home lab rack is worth more than my home.
That is so fucking overkill 😂
A home lab with a fully patched 48 port switch? Why would you need so many patches at home?
My home lab is in its early stages, being two old pcs and a pi 3b+ wired to a 4-port switch. Planning to put k3s on it as I’m entirely new to this
Im interested in learning enough to do a small home lab
I do a lot of organic work making fertilizers, raising livestock, growing crop plants, and I also dabble in designing off grid networks that automate essential processes like homemade HVAC, security systems, lab test results, etc.
Individually I handle these things well but Im only now really getting into networking everything together, automatically writing data from cams and environmental sensors to storage drives.
Oi. Is that the new pro max switch with etherlighting? Never thought I’d see the day with RGB in enterprise apparel, but yet here we are. It is kinda neat for high density racks where you can easily identify the port and cable for a specific thing though.
What you do at home after using these setup please tell in detail because most of the people don't understand such a nice setup
I don't understand anything you just said but looks really cool
Really cool setup! What is the the rackmount that you use for the NUC cluster?
What's the wattage?
All of them
Over 9000
Can’t wait for the software/services video! 😮
Soon!
Ubiquiti and enterprise need not be in the same sentence.
It's Soho at best.
That's so cool. What is the use case of all that computing power?
How much power does it draw? Electric bills must have skyrocketed
You have my dream setup but i am yet figure out owning house of my own, love your vids, i got job in application security because of your homelab videos i setup CI/CD security testing playground and demo it during interview. All running on intel nuc mini PC 32gb ram, ubuntu vms containers, pfsense vpn to access vm LAN etc.
I have multiple computers attached to a switch with a few laptops running virtual machines
Would help if you gave the reason for your setup?
aggregation pro🤤 built in 2 of those in my schools network cabinet
I have the same case you are going to switch out for your conversion! It's honestly been a bit of a hassle, so planning to replace it hopefully.
Something I've been wondering recently is why do we put our switches on the front other than for cooling reasons? I think when I redo my rack here I'm going to put all my switches on the back since that's where the ports on my stuff is located.
Yes it’s not logical, why is it designed that way?
In data centres, switches are often put at the back. You need to get the reversed fan modules for them to maintain hot/cold aisle separation.
What a beautiful masterpiece you have in your house.
This is a dream that everyone what to owns.
But what do you do for your hot aisle? Does it just go into the room out the top?
Just curious, for a setup that size, is there really a benefit to the 10gig aggregation device?
Hi Tim, I saved A LOT of space in terms of cable management using the ubiquiti cat6 cables, they’re a lot thinner.
I used to have all cat8.1 very thick like yours, and everything became a lot easier with the ubiquiti ones. Just a suggestion 😊
There's a few alternatives too like Monoprice SlimRun. Not strictly recommended for high wattage PoE but I've run flex mini's without issue.
What’s that black box below the raspi in the wall? What are you running in the raspy/esp that cannot do any pc?
what brand of servers would you recommend for a small and medium size business?
That cool what do you used it for?
I want one now… but won’t be able to get… unless…
I've seen business with way less equipment than that
Damn two hue hubs? Somebody has a LOT of hue lights. At very least 51 but... Gonna guess more then that lol.
Funny, I just posted a picture today on my twitter, I now have 4 hubs....
Its Beautiful!
what's the switches model number?
Enough with a mod or 2 for an ops centre 💯💎
How much did your total setup (everything in the rack and on the wall) cost you?
The ubiquiti stuff is probably around 6k, I know my 10 gig switch was like 1800
What's on thr wall, and why 2 hue hubs?
Same question!
I need a backup and recovery server so bad but need to blow stupid money away at SSDs for a server. One day it’ll be love and my conscious will be a little bit calmer…. Just a little…. Need to get azure blob storage for data to rest
Enterprise sas SSD and sas hard drives are very cheap on babe because people buy them for computers accidentally
Beautiful
Damn that's impressive, I would love to build a home lab but I dont know where to start?!
eBay Amazon ,,even used as these run for years 🎯👌😊
For homelad aficionados, do you guys do it as a hobby or you actually gain/save money with it?
for a big setup with a lot of equipment, i'd imagine the vast majority of personal users spend more and just treat it as a hobby, but you can get a lot of functionality out of an old pc or laptop and certainly save yourself time and money.
My "homelab" (cringe) consists of a 10 year old HP hypervisor, a qnap NAS and some networking gear, the cost of the electricity = roughly the same cost of the equivalent cloud services. The only advantage of doing this is I have complete control over what I can do with it. In reality when you take maintanence into account it would be cheaper to use cloud services over the course of a year.
very cool!
Homelab? Thats suitable for a medium sized Business
Bro is living in 2077
What all do you run on it?
Add a firewall let’s see
I don't know what happens in these things but I wish I owned one
I am curious... How much is your power bill?
That looks so beautiful 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Damn, how many people do you have living at home? lol and I thought my set up was overkill
Most of it is redundancy
4-5 kwh of power right there. so roughly 9.6$ a day @0.10$ a kwh.
Do you have the components for the Intel Nuc Cluster? I am currently considering whether to take a Nuc Cluster or three self-built servers. It would be great if you had a few links or even a video of yourself.
Links in the full video which is linked here 😀. Or l.technotim.live/gear
I just have a 32 cores server all in one esxi. including router openwrt vm, firewall pfsense vm, pihole vm, storage nas unraid vm, performance nas truenas vm, and other vm having scsi disks from truenas or direct passed through didks .
Which UPS is that?
home lab!!
Крутая сборка
How long did it take you? I’ve got a few and it’s a mess and I want to add more but that’s only going to make it more of a rats nest. Your is so clean. Mine is made of 2x4s and standard 10+ year old atx boards. Wish I wasn’t broke :(
I dont get why people do that with the short patch leads, yeah it looks nice but the point of patch panels is to easily reroute patch ports, might as well wire the cables in directly to the switch
Typically it's to prevent damaging the drops. Once connected to the patch panel, the drops are pretty secure. If you damage the patch, it's super cheap to replace.
Nice!!!!
How much $$$$ that cost?
For real, I am questioning
Sometimes i am seeing like this Short or Video, i kinda curious and want to have but doesn't know for what purpose
Can you please tell me what purpose of your homelab?
What people do with these kind of setup?
You're welcome to check out the full video where I explain everything!
I wanna see the electrical bill.
This is great
Smart pdu?
Looks amazing! What cabinet is that?
Thanks! You can see it all (along with the full video) here technotim.live/posts/homelab-hardware-tour-2023/
@@TechnoTim great, thanks!
I want a ubiquity sponsorship!!
Who wouldn't!
for somebody who pretends to be enterprise level you have a lot of unifi boxes running
Can i ask what devices require 2.5G PoE?
😂This guy is the reason I now call mine a "homelab" yeah.. With quotes😔
is it powerful enough to run minecraft server?
This is my homeland lab. What do I do with it? Run a minecraft server [:
nuc cluster
GIVE THE GUIDANCE HOW TO INSTALL .
What exactly guy do
For a mere 10,000 W 😂
OK but how to monetise the latest skills?!
I obviously don’t know as much as I should about computers and network servers
Why you say that? What do you have questions or wondering about?
UBNT or Cisco?
How much power does it take?
What it your co2 footprint then?
Quite huge I bet...
not too bad. It has been revamps since. It's pulling less than 300w of power.
@@TechnoTimdidn't expect that
Can you link those power cables on your PDU?
You can find it all here! kit.co/TechnoTim/techno-tim-homelab-tour-late-2023
@@TechnoTim thank you!
I have only a router, 3 pc 2 tablet and one mobile phone. I dont need more. That eqiipment would be too much 😂
Homelab with minecraft creative mode
hope the electriciy bill is not way up, solar cell roof ?
And in Europe they tell us to switch off them lights LOL
where is your redundant power setup? The PDU and the APC UPS right now are the single point of failure.
All that thing for a computer, and too much electronic radiation
what rack is this
Sophous firewall is not really a firewall 😂
All running at 0.1% utilisation.
And this makes Netlfix work?
Unifi switch being called “enterprise” 😂
That’s literally the name of it “Enterprise 48 PoE”
