Hi everyone,

I’ve been a single-server built from whatever desktop I upgraded for years kind of guy, with a hostname of the street it is on (better than server, which is what it used to be).

However, at some point in the future my home lab will be located in a place I will not have immediate access to, and since it’s getting on in age and due for an upgrade anyway, I’m going to build in some redundancy. So, current names:

  • OPNsense micro-router: ingress01
  • OPNsense backup: ingress02
  • Cluster micro-server with essential services: cluster01
  • Cluster micro-server with non-essential services and replicated essential services: cluster02
  • NAS: nas
  • Powered on remotely when needed:
    • Mac mini dev/release box: macmini
    • Primary remote development server (basically my old desktop): desktop

Bring on the Mini-MacMinifaces, and any other ideas you have.

      I debated on going Kubernetes, but almost everything I host is stateful, so using built in replication just makes more sense (for my personal home lab, anyway).
