My 10-inch Kallax homelab rack is finally complete!

Hey everyone, just wanted to share the final status of my 10-inch homelab rack setup. It fits right inside a standard Ikea Kallax shelf, and I finally got the ZimaCube 2 integrated at the bottom.

Here is a quick breakdown of how I configured everything:

The Hardware Stack (top to bottom):

  • OPNsense Firewall: ZimaBoard 2 (8GB) handling edge routing and WireGuard VPN access.
  • Compute Node (Proxmox VE): ZimaBoard 2 (16GB RAM) running core services like primary AdGuard Home, PostgreSQL database cluster, Nginx Proxy Manager, Vaultwarden, and Home Assistant.
  • Compute Nodes 2 & 3 (Proxmox VE): 2x ZimaBlades (16GB RAM each). One runs Frigate NVR (hooked up to a Coral TPU) and the other is a "Game-Central" node (RomM, SMB shares, retro games).
  • Secondary DNS: Raspberry Pi Zero 2W running secondary AdGuard Home (synced via adguardhome-sync for DNS failover).
  • Storage & AI Node: ZimaCube 2 (Standard Edition) running ZimaOS Beta. It handles the NFS/SMB shared storage for Proxmox and runs local LLMs (mostly Gemma models) via llama.cpp + OpenClaw.

Upgrades on the ZimaCube 2: I added a 32GB DDR5 stick to get 40GB RAM total and dropped in a low-profile Intel Arc Pro B50 (16GB VRAM, AV1 encoding support). I went with the B50 because it runs entirely off PCIe slot power (no extra power cables needed) and offers an awesome VRAM-to-price ratio.

Software & Local AI: Instead of wiping ZimaOS from the ZimaCube 2 right away, I decided to keep it to test a ZimaOS Beta version provided by the IceWhale that includes native Intel Arc GPU driver support. This way, the ZimaCube 2 hosts the shared storage backend for the cluster and runs local inference with llama.cpp + OpenClaw. For the cameras, Frigate is still running on one of the ZimaBlades with a Coral TPU since I have 4 outdoor cameras and want to keep the load off the main CPU/GPU.

3D Prints & Links: Printed everything on my Elegoo Centauri Carbon. I did a couple of remixes myself to get the ZimaCube and the firewall cleanly integrated. Here are the links:

Feel free to ask me anything! Whether you have questions about the physical assembly, the 3D printed mounts, network routing, or the local AI testing under ZimaOS Beta, I'm happy to help out and share details!

Which Mini PC should I get to run ESXi?

My org uses ESXi so I want to learn more with hands on experience. I currently use an old SuperMicro server, but it's too big for my network rack (it's a wall mount), it's very loud, it generates a lot of heat, and it draws a ton of power. Given the last two I would have to shelf it for the summer since it'll probably trip a fuse as soon as the AC goes on, and my office already gets hot enough as is.

That being said, an Xeon E5-2690 and 64Gb memory was more than enough power for my needs, and I already have drives so I don't need to purchase new ones.

Any Mini PCs around $500 or less (used is fine) that have comparable specs and can run ESXi?

I'd love a MS-A2 but barebones already hits my budget, so adding a CPU would put me over (unless I'm missing something or it's really worth paying extra for one). I don't need it for anything crazy, practically I just use it for Plex and media streaming at home, otherwise I just mess around with labs - setting up AD, messing around DNS/DHCP, etc, etc

PSA: The UNAS 2's "2.5GbE" NIC is a USB-attached Realtek running a 3-year-old driver, and mine just stopped negotiating gigabit

Putting this here because the UI forums move slowly and I want other UNAS 2 owners to be able to find this when they search.

TL;DR: The UNAS 2's 2.5GbE port is a USB-attached Realtek RTL8156 running r8152 v2.17.2 dated 2023-09-05. Mine has been dropping the link during sustained SMB/SCP transfers for weeks, and has now degraded to the point where it can't negotiate gigabit at boot. Support ticket has been silent for days.

The hardware design

It's not a PCIe NIC. It's USB. Confirmed:

$ ethtool -i eth0
driver: r8152
version: v2.17.2 (2023/09/05)

$ lsusb -t
Port 1: Dev 2, Driver=r8152, 5000M

For a device whose entire job is moving files over a network, putting the NIC on the USB bus is a choice. USB NICs have smaller queues, more CPU involvement in packet handling, and less robust error recovery than PCIe. When something goes wrong, a wedged USB NIC can take the whole USB subsystem with it — which is exactly what I'm seeing.

Symptoms under sustained load

Multi-TB SMB or SCP transfer:

  • Throughput collapses, stalls for minutes
  • /var/log/kern.log fills with r8152 ... carrier off / carrier on
  • SMB sessions disconnect
  • Recovery requires power cycle (soft reboot doesn't always work)

Reproduced with multiple cables, switch ports, and clients. Every other 2.5G device on the same USW-Flex-2.5G is fine.

It got worse

After more troubleshooting, the NIC stopped negotiating gigabit at boot. Driver is now explicitly giving up:

r8152 4-1.1:1.0 eth0: autoneg retry 3/3 for higher speed (total 3, linked at 100Mbps)
r8152 4-1.1:1.0 eth0: autoneg retry exhausted, accepting 100Mbps

Switch port is set to auto-negotiate. Every other device on that switch hits its rated speed. The driver tried three times and gave up.

Any attempt to force speed via ethtool -s hangs the device hard enough to require a power cycle. (Pretty sure this is the USB-NIC-takes-USB-stack- with-it problem.)

The driver age

r8152 v2.17.2 from September 2023. Upstream has had multiple releases since with fixes for RTL8156 autoneg and USB stall recovery. The driver is baked into UniFi's kernel image — you can't update it via apt. The vendor controls it.

What I've tried

  • Disabling offloads (tso/gso/gro/tx/rx/sg) — temporary relief, then failed
  • Forcing 1GbE — held a few hours under load, then failed
  • Cable swaps, switch port swaps, STP changes — no change
  • UI support ticket — escalated days ago, crickets

For other UNAS 2 owners

If you're seeing weird stalls, drops, or speed issues, check yours:

ethtool -i eth0
lsusb -t
dmesg | grep r8152
ethtool eth0

Curious how many people are running into this. The forum threads I've found suggest a lot of "I gave up and RMA'd" but no actual fix.

Where I'm at

Filing RMA. The driver-level autoneg failure makes it pretty hard for Ubiquiti to argue this is a cable problem. Posting here mostly so the next person Googling UNAS 2 carrier off r8152 finds something useful instead of three months of "have you tried a different cable" replies.

First real homelab build begins 🚀

I’m excited to finally get started with my first homelab.

Picked up 3 × HP ProDesk Mini 400 G6 systems to build a small but practical home lab cluster.

Specs per node:
Intel Core i5-10500T
32 GB RAM
512 GB SSD
Wi-Fi + Bluetooth
Windows 11 Pro currently installed

My plan is to use these as a small 3-node lab for learning and hands-on practice with:

Proxmox / virtualization
Kubernetes
GitOps with Argo CD or Flux
Terraform and automation
Monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana
Home network segmentation and VLAN testing
Small self-hosted services

I’m pairing this with a new UniFi setup, so the goal is to build a clean home network + homelab environment.

Any advice for a 3-node mini PC cluster? Things you wish you did differently when starting out?

One month with a larger power station made me rethink my homelab UPS setup

I’ve been using a regular APC UPS under my desk for years to cover my router, switch, NAS, and desktop. It works fine for short blips and gives me enough time to shut things down safely.

After a few longer outages, though, I realized my problem was how do I keep the network and NAS running for a few hours without treating every outage like an emergency?

About a month ago I started testing the anker f3800 power station with my network gear, NAS, desktop setup, and monitors. I’m not really thinking of it as a full replacement for a proper UPS. For sensitive gear, I still like having a smaller UPS in front to handle the immediate switchover and graceful shutdown side of things.

Where the bigger power station makes more sense is runtime. It feels more like adding a larger battery layer behind the UPS instead of relying on a small UPS that only buys a few minutes.

The other reason I went this route is expandability. Being able to add more battery capacity later, and possibly solar, makes it feel more useful for longer outages than just buying a slightly bigger rack UPS.

Do you keep a traditional UPS directly in front of your homelab gear and use a larger battery or power station behind it, or have you moved more of the load directly onto the larger unit?

NetMap - A self hosted network visability tool for home labs.

Hey r/homelab,

I wanted to share a project I've been working on called NetMap. A self-hosted network management tool aimed at home labs and small environments.

What is it?

NetMap is a self-hosted tool that gives you a proper overview of your home lab or small network. Map out your devices, track IPs, watch for things going down, and dig into firewall logs — all from one place, running on your own hardware.

It started as a personal project to scratch an itch: one application that actually knows what's on your network, where it sits, and whether it's behaving. Built to drop straight into a Compose stack alongside your other self-hosted services with no cloud accounts, no subscriptions, and no phoning home.

Everything runs in a single container. The web UI, API, database, and syslog receiver are all bundled together — nothing to orchestrate beyond the one service.

Links

A note on AI

I want to be upfront about this: AI (Claude) was used extensively throughout this project — in writing code, debugging, designing features, and refining the UI. I'm not a professional developer by trade, and this project wouldn't exist in its current form without that help.

That said, every decision about what to build, how it should work, and what problems it should solve came from me. I tested everything, directed the development, and this is genuinely something I built to scratch my own itch and solve a problem I couldn't find elsewhere. The difference here is I just had a very capable coding assistant alongside me.

I think it's important to be honest about that rather than pretend I wrote every line myself. AI tools are part of how software gets built now, and I'd rather be transparent about it.

I've been heavily invested in IT for a long time and have a solid understanding of best practices and how systems should be structured. These decisions weren't made blindly. I cared about getting them right, researched the right approaches, and pushed back when something didn't meet the bar I'd set. The fact that AI helped implement it doesn't mean the underlying design decisions weren't deliberate and informed.

So take from this project what you will, I know people are going to jump on the AI slop bandwagon, but tbh I don't care. I think it's cool and so might others. Anyway, that's the disclosure 😝

What it does

  • Topology canvas: this was one of my biggest frustrations with other tools. You add a device and then have to go and manually place it on some separate diagram. In NetMap, devices and VLAN groups you create automatically appear on the canvas. You can drag them around, draw links between them, and group things into VLANs or logical clusters. Positions are saved so it looks the same every time you come back. Supports multiple named sites in the case of business adoption, can be used to map out multiple site locations.
  • Device inventory: searchable, filterable table of every device. Bulk edit types, statuses, and sites. Supports servers, switches, routers, firewalls, APs, cameras, phones, VPNs, and cloud endpoints — each with a matching icon on the canvas.
  • Monitoring: continuous background polling with live ICMP ping, TCP port checks, RTT history graphs, a 30-poll heartbeat strip per device, and uptime tracking.
  • IPAM: define subnets, assign VLANs, track individual IP allocations, import DHCP leases from your router, and get a visual IP grid showing what's in use vs available.
  • Firewall log ingestion: receives syslog over UDP and TCP from pfSense, OPNsense, Unifi, or any RFC-5424/3164-compatible source. Live-tail in the browser, search by IP/port/protocol, and each log entry links directly to the device in your inventory.
  • Network discovery: run Nmap scans against a subnet and import discovered hosts straight into your inventory with hostnames, MACs, and open ports pre-filled.
  • Built-in tools: ping, traceroute, TCP connect, DNS lookup, and a subnet calculator. No more SSHing into a jump box for quick checks.
  • Alerts: rules that fire when devices go down or come back up, with notifications via ntfy, Telegram, Signal, or email (plans to add more in the future).
  • Access control: four roles (SuperAdmin, NetworkAdmin, SecurityAnalyst, Viewer) with granular permissions. Fully customisable.

Getting started

You need Docker and Docker Compose, that's it.

services:
  netmap:
    image: xoriin/netmap:latest
    container_name: netmap
    environment:
      PUID: 1000
      PGID: 1000
      TZ: "America/New_York"
      SECRET_KEY: "replace-with-generated-secret"
      MASTER_KEY: "replace-with-generated-fernet-key"
      TRUSTED_HOSTS: '["*"]'
    volumes:
      - /opt/netmap/data:/app/data
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
      - "5514:1514/udp"
      - "5514:1514/tcp"
    cap_add:
      - NET_RAW
    restart: unless-stopped

Generate your secrets, drop them in, and docker compose up -d. First run prompts you to create your admin account and you're in.

Full compose file with every option documented is in the repo.

Feedback, bug reports, and feature suggestions all welcome. Happy to answer questions in the comments.

Rate My MS-A2 Stock Thermal Paste

Opened up my MS-A2 with the Ryzen 9 and this is what the factory thermal paste looks like.

Would you leave it as-is or clean it up and repaste? Curious what you’d rate the stock application.

Candace asked me to add the kid’s balance bike to the Amazon cart. I may have gotten distracted.

Subtotal’s at $750,085.93.

The bike is $85.99 of that. I’d like it on the record that I added exactly what she asked for.
Amazon’s offering me 0% APR at $62,507/mo though, so honestly this is just fiscally responsible at this point. “Only 6 left, order now” — they KNOW me.

Anyway the balance bike has Prime shipping by Saturday and the RAM doesn’t arrive til the 29th, so the toddler gets her hardware first. Priorities.

(No I didn’t actually buy this ram, the bike though 🤩)

IT support by day, homelab by night. Built this with Google, YouTube, and r/homelab as my only teachers. Here's what 12 months looks like.

Lurked here for a while, learned a ton from posts like the one I'm hoping this becomes. Time to give back.

Quick context: I'm IT support by trade. Not a developer, not a sysadmin. Everything in this post I figured out by reading r/homelab, watching YouTube at midnight, and reading GitHub README files that occasionally assumed I knew things I absolutely did not know. If you're in the same boat, hopefully something here helps.

Hardware

  • Host: ASUS ROG board, Intel i7-11700KF (8c/16t), 32 GB DDR4, RTX 3080 10 GB
  • OS: Debian 13 Trixie, kernel 6.12
  • Storage (all btrfs):
    • /mnt/media: 21 TB, media library + downloads
    • /mnt/vault: 13 TB external USB drive, paperless docs + backups
    • /mnt/apps: 1.9 TB RAID1, all Docker app data + compose files
  • Networking: Caddy as reverse proxy with a Cloudflare wildcard cert (LE prod via DNS-01), Authelia in front of every service for SSO
  • GPU: shared between Plex hardware transcode, Immich ML, and Ollama. Secure Boot off, nvidia-driver 550, NVIDIA container toolkit. Has worked surprisingly well.

Software (29 containers, grouped)

  • Edge & access: Caddy, Authelia, AdGuard Home
  • Media servers: Plex, Jellyfin, Overseerr, Tautulli
  • *arr stack: Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, Bazarr, SABnzbd. Dual Usenet providers, one primary + one failover.
  • Productivity: BookStack (wiki), Forgejo (self-hosted git), Paperless-ngx (document OCR), Actual Budget
  • Photos & AI: Immich (photos with ML on the GPU), Ollama (local LLM)
  • Dashboards & ops: Homepage, Uptime Kuma, CasaOS (kept it because the UI is honestly nice)
  • IPTV: Threadfin + an EPG service feeding Plex

Everything sits behind Caddy with HTTPS via the wildcard cert. Authelia gates anything that shouldn't be wide open.

Stuff I broke and fixed (in case it helps the next person searching for these at 1 AM)

  • AdGuard latency was 1800 ms with default upstreams. Parallel mode with Cloudflare + Google + Quad9 dropped it to ~10 ms.
  • SABnzbd was pulling at 3 KB/s on a gigabit line. I'd configured 50 connections to the provider and they were rate-limiting me into oblivion. Dropped to 20 connections, jumped to ~9 MB/s. Less is more.
  • Caddy to Plex was hanging on JS assets, 8 second page loads, nothing in the logs. Forcing HTTP/1.1 transport in Caddy fixed it instantly. h2 to Plex is cursed.
  • Overseerr to Radarr was 400-ing on tag creation. Setting tagRequests=false in Overseerr was the fix.
  • TMDB lookups were 503-ing because Radarr preferred IPv6 and the upstream IPv6 path was broken. Disabled v6 via sysctls.
  • Paperless was crash-looping because I'd set OCR_LANGUAGE=ara and the Arabic pack isn't in the image. Just eng for now (annoying since I'd actually use the Arabic one).
  • BookStack wouldn't start. The linuxserver image uses DB_USERNAME / DB_PASSWORD, not the upstream's DB_USER / DB_PASS. Burned an hour on that one.
  • Overseerr backlog had 262 orphaned movie requests from a previous mess. Recovered them and re-pushed to Radarr. Don't down -v your stack with pending requests.

Known weirdness (in case anyone has hit these)

  • immich-ml reports unhealthy but works fine. Strict healthcheck, cosmetic.
  • Free IPTV EPG sources keep blocking my scraper. Inherent to free IPTV. Moving on.
  • Homepage widgets still need API keys + docker.sock group access. On the list.

Next up

  • Off-site backup for Immich + Paperless. The USB vault is a single disk, that's not enough.
  • Tiny mini-PC for a secondary AdGuard so DNS doesn't die when the host reboots.
  • Proper VLANs. IoT is currently too friendly with the trusted network.

The rack is a $40 Amazon shelf and I refuse to apologize

The “rack” is a boltless steel shelf from Amazon, the kind meant for paint cans and storage tubs.

On it: six tower nodes, all running Proxmox, doing everything from LLM inference to Kubernetes pools, plus flash storage.

The whole thing is tied together with a $50 1G switch (I promise I’ll upgrade the fabric soon).

Things I swore were temporary: the wood framing, the cable management, the switch, the shelf itself. The shelf is winning. It’s load-bearing infrastructure now.

It honestly works. Boltless shelving handles way more weight than people assume, and tower chassis don’t need rails. The real problems are airflow and cable management, both of which the photo will confirm I have not solved.

So before I spend real money: know any better ways to store these? Towers, not rackmount, so a standard 19” rack is out unless I shelf-mount them anyway. Open to wall mounts, custom builds, “just buy X,” or being told the shelf is fine and I should stop overthinking it.
