Homelabs

indexing

thinking about moving /indexing more bare metal with some /homelabs 

two distinct potential versions:

1/ "processing hub" -> need ~1:1 ratio between # of CPUs and # of GBs of RAM -> ideally runnable as a cluster

2/ "storage hub" -> need 100+ TB in RAID -> ideally accessible from a processing cluster (NAS?)

It's been a few years since I built out a homelab - any updates on best practices, places to shop, etc?

Building /indexing; love your data again. Probably also running 🏃‍♀️

yah seems very doable! for 100tb a nas with nfs is gonna be the easiest k8s provisioner to manage, then you can add compute nodes as needed! my homelab runs a similar setup, busy adding 50tb rn!

for NAS i got a 12 bay hp dl380 on amazon for like $600 and picked up some wd reds, running Debian and xfs, the used server has been a mess of headaches, i don't think i recommend it but im sure there's lots of options for empty drive bays

heck yeah! Any thoughts on current drives / NAS brands?

(also, wtf are you storing on 50tb? 👀😆 )
