| + | A friend and I have a homelab setup between our houses. We have been slowly amassing assorted old and new servers to add to this lab so that we have a fun playground and can host all the game servers and websites we want. | ||

| + | ===== What are we doing with all that??? ===== | ||
| + | Good question! Mostly just messing around, having fun, and learning! | ||
| + | I connected all 3 pfsenses via ipsec tunnels so that the infrastructure at each location is accessible from the other 2. | ||
| + | I run my website (this one) as well as a few other sites from one of the old desktops. I also run a minecraft server across both of the old desktops. | ||
| + | My friend is using 2 of the PIs to run his website. | ||
| + | We currently have 3 Lenovos in a XCP-ng cluster and the other 3 in a Proxmox cluster. We have the G6 setup as a NAS backing the VMs that we have running on the cluster.((Oh boy, live migration is so neat when you are running VMs off of a SAN! You just click a button and boop its on the other host!)) | ||
| + | We have three of the PIs setup as [[https:// | ||
| + | We have a Factorio server running on the G5 and on one of the desktops. | ||
| + | We have 2 Netgear S3300-28X switches so that we can use link aggregation to get a redundant, high throughput storage network connection. | ||
| - | ==== History ==== | ||
| - | In 2016, I got my first desktop. Since then I have been running various websites and game servers in my free time. | + | Each location is assigned a 10.**x**.0.0/16. Subnet ip ranges are standardized to: |
| + | * 10.x.**0**.0/ | ||
| + | * 10.x.**1**.0/ | ||
| + | * 10.x.**2**.0/ | ||
| + | * 10.x.**3**.0/ | ||
| - | In 2019 I got a second desktop | + | This way the ipsec tunnel only has to allow access to 10.X.0.0/23 externally, and can safely block incoming to anything else. Anything that does not have a 10.x address is only for local access/ |
| - | In 2020 I got a small netgate firewall running pfsense. | + | Here is a netmap! |

| - | In 2021 I got an old HPE server from my school which was selling a bunch of old hardware. | ||
