Finally got around to racking up my lab! (Still needs wiring up, but that’s
tomorrows problem) Top to bottom: * 1u PDU * 1u cable management * 1u custom
super micro pfsense build * 1u tplink jetstream. 24x1Gbe 4x SFP * 1u cable
management * 2u patch panel * 4u custom super micro server * A shelf with a UPS
and a gaming rig (ryzen with a 1070ti) Going to run rancher harvester + rancher
vm + k8s cluster. Usual media stack, nextcloud, pihole, etc etc. Mostly just
want a cluster to play with and harvester seems fun!
Trying to cross post, not sure if I’m doing it right. Apologies if I’m breaking any rules!
So here’s another homelab sin I committed… I dont use rails. I stead I buy these adjustable universal shelves that get installed like rails. Why? Because all my servers are second hand and require proprietary mounting rails. The dell server rails are way more expensive than they need to be haha
There might be a rail kit that can extend out the back. It’d be a little labgore but it would work

That’s what I do too. The 4u is on a set like that. I didn’t know it was a sin!
