For those of you who know of PiAlert or similar projects/forks like NetAlertX, do you know of any that can run without WAN access?...

My Internet provider just installed a 2,5/1Gbps Internet connection and I've asked the guys to run a couple of their fiber to connect my router (HP Prodesk with OPNsense) to my server....

So, I finally got this project (PiAlert) working how I'd like....

Hi everyone :)...

I recently installed an instance of TPot Honeypot, and it looks and feels pretty fantastic....

Hi everybody!...

A slightly less technical post - these are some things I've learned from having a HomeLab for over a decade.

I have installed Debian with software RAID1 (and installed Proxmox on it) on 2 256GB SSD and I now want to move to 2 500GB SSD, how do I proceed?...

Hi all,...

I recently discovered Pi Alert (and the various forks of it) and it seems like something that might be useful on my homelab....

My home server is a Proxmox machine with some VM one of which is Open Media Vault from which a Windows PC plays videos to my TV....

I want to build a proper server with room for 40+ HDDs to move my media server to and have RAID 1. I know a lot about PCs and software, but when it comes to server hardware I have no clue what I'm doing. How would I go about building a server that has access to 40+ RAID 1'd HDDs?

I run a Windows 11 VM on xcp-ng to do testing and Windows specific graphic and video work. I use an old R9 390 in passthrough mode right now but it's running out of steam....

First time posting here, so please lmk if I should format this question differently or ask for this kind of help somewhere else....

hey,...

I was found a listing on eBay for a "Mellanox CX354A ConnectX-3 FDR Infiniband 40GbE QSFP+" card for quite cheap. By the sound of the listing title it supports both infiniband and 40GbE, is that right? I would like to try out infiniband, but I would be buying for the 40GbE. And are there good drivers for modern linux distros for...

My homelab is still in its infancy as I'm at the start of my self-hosting journey. I'm now down the rabbit hole though and where I can self host, I'd like to....

Hi folks,...

The majority of my homelab consists of two servers: A Proxmox hypervisor and a TrueNAS file server. The bulk of my LAN traffic is between these two servers. At the moment, both servers are on my "main" VLAN. I have separate VLANs for guests and IoT devices, but everything else lives on VLAN2....

I got a server case and some rails for free, they were annoying to build (yes, build), and I could not find anything regarding those rails online, so I decided to blog about it, in the hope of helping someone with all the same questions as me!...

After looking into travel routers a bit, I quickly came across Gl.iNet which seems to be a leader in the space. It seems they use OpenWRT which is great, but with some special sauce on top of it....

For those of you who use travel routers, do you only use them to wire guard/ openvpn back to your home networks for local resources?...
