Personally will be trying to transform my server which is currently in a fractal R5 case, into a small-ish Homelab rack, combined with all my network equipment. Will require complete relocation of all network equipment in the house as well as cables so it will be a bit of a project. Also on the lookout for a good quality rack so let me know if you have any recs. Still unsure if u want to do full width rack or mini. Part of me really want the UDM Pro from Unifi…

What are your goals and thing you want to accomplish during 2025?

    Most important: replace the raspi SD card with an SSD

    General hardware: see if I find a better solution than my current Proxmox box (repurposed desktop which consumes 60w idling but is capped to 16GB Ram)

    Incoming traffic: currently having a VM that runs nothing but nginx and certbot. Considering switching to another reverse proxy and, more important, get proper monitoring of the logs (e.g. IP detection, 403, etc)

    Maybe add some iam like authentik

    Finding a solution for selfhosting podcasts client with sync on Android and Linux… gpodder never really seemed to work, considering audiobookshelf.

    Probably setting up calibre web and gethomepage

    Keeping what I have and maybe optimize a bit:

    • Prometheus stack
    • plenty exporters
    • Nextcloud
    • paperless
    • home assistant, mosquitto
    • pihole
    • vaultwarden
    • selfoss

    On VPS:

    • Mastodon
    • Bookwyrm
    • some WordPress (want to move this to my homeserver as well)

    Got a 3 year old kid with another on the way. I just need it to be reliable so the kid can watch Sesame Street and the lights keep working.

    I think what I need to do correctly on my homelab this year, is setup off-site backups. I currently only backup to seperate drives and machines inside my own home. I need to setup something at my parents place to take weekly and monthly backups.

    Other than that, my media server needs a bigger storage drive.

    Finally get a cheap mini PC so I can stop running my gaming rig 24/7 for jellyfin. Looking to start self hosting few other services if that goes well.

      A relatively newish SBC can run Jellyfin and even do some light transcoding (single stream full HD or 2-3 streams SD).

    I want to move my whole server to NixOS. It’s gotten to the point where I have no idea where all the Ubuntu config files went, and handling half of it via Docker vs baremetal. I hope this will allow me to set up proper backups as well, and maybe get better at Nix! I started a few days ago using the VM feature, but it’s tricky to work on for now, perhaps I haven’t found the right workflow.

    I want to replace my single drive Qnap NAS by a diy one. It still works, but I also want to redo my backup process, and it would be a good point to start.

    docker-ify everything, my nginx, nextcloud, pihole, jellyfin, and basically everything else is a nightmare and I can’t even begin to understand how to modify the shit that 2023 me did 2023 chatgpt spat out, so having everything in some neat docker composes is gonna help immensly

    also making the Pi that everything’s hosted on boot of an SSD instead of a cheap chinese SD card, but that requires money and I’m all out

      I docker’d all of my systems a few years ago, and I’m so glad I did. So much easier to manage, and when I lost a system I was able to get most of my services back up and running with minimal configuration on a VM same day.

      As for hardware, you might check and see if you’ve got a local reseller of retired business equipment. Before I moved, I had a place I went to from my work that accepted shit we were getting rid of that disposed of stuff and resold at a bargain the stuff that was still good. I got more than one hp tower from a few years previous that ran (and still runs) like a champ. Felt like night and day when I upgraded to that from my Pi setup, and they were only like $35 each.

    1. Finish building a mini-rack with a server (almost done).
    2. Finish cabling the house with CAT6 cables.
    3. Migrate the current VPS running my docker services to the self-hosted server.
    4. Implement a NAS on the server using a virtualized OpenMediaVault instance.
    5. Migrate my network infrastructure from a single asuswrt-merlin router to OPNSense + Cisco Switch.
