This is a history of my homelab, since about 2008, arranged chronologically.

As alluded to, there are some future plans for upgrades in the lab.

After the last post, I implemented rpmfusion caching, and I was watching the logs closely - only to discover that everything was going right through the cache as BYPASS.

There has been an update to this post, see Package Caching Update In the past, I’ve used and struggled with apt-cacher-ng, like many of you, I would imagine.

New Hardware for Atlas Atlas is going to eventually be moving into a new 2U Supermicro CSE-826 chassis, with 12 LFF bays up front.

Mainline Most of the workloads run from the ceph cluster, using RBD volumes.

Meet the Machines There are four main systems that run everything in my homelab/home prod, but they have a few things in common.

I said that I was a homelabber and self-hoster, so I should probably post about that.

With very few exceptions, I run basically everything in LXC containers, apart from NTP, which runs on Alpine VMs to allow for decoupling from the host clocks.

Routing All routing, including inter-vlan routing is handled by the Opnsense firewall pair.

The Problem A week ago, my wife asked me to set up a guest network, because our daughter has a birthday coming up, and all her friends are going to want to get onto wifi so they can play jackbox party games together.
