Good evening everyone :)
Here are a couple photos of the current iteration of my homelab journey.
My compute is an M720Q running a custom riser with 2 PCIe slots.
- i7-9700
- 8+16GB of RAM
- 2x Samsung MZVLB512 (one in the original slot, other in the m.2 WiFi slot)
- Arc A310
- LSI 9300-8i
- All on a 135W Lenovo charger/PSU
The UNVR is just a drive shelf, the original board was dead.
Currently running the following storage:
- 2x N300 8TB in mirror
- 1x 16TB Toshiba MG09
- 1x 8TB Toshiba MG10
- 1x 6TB schuked WD something
It runs jellyfin, homeassistant in a VM, qbittorrent, prometheus+grafana, jdownloader and tdarr since storage is crazy expensive.
I use OMV 8 as my OS, tried proxmox in the past, but I didn't have the A310 at the time and had issues with passthrough since I only had a single iGPU.
The switch at the top is an ICX7150-C12P running the latest firmware courtesy of fohdeesha, the router is a Zyxel T-56 running openWrt, plus another Xiaomi AX6S as a secondary access point in the bedroom.
Then for home automation I have some shelly devices, some random Moes devices running openBeken, some custom ones running esphome.
The plan is to print more of the 2x3.5" HDD holders since the UNVR has pretty crappy airflow and I need to open it up everytime I need to change a drive.
All in all, interesting ride, it all started with an Asus laptop with an i7-4720HQ, GTX 860m and an external USB 2TB HD.
The riser is mostly based on WifiCable design and was done with a bit of his help, waiting on his green light to release the design files, want to give him as much credit as he seems fit :)
Best regards.
