First rack homelab shows a small server and VLAN setup

The first rack homelab is a compact setup using parts from a Saturn placed on top of a DeskPi TL1. The main server is a 7040M running Proxmox.

The includes a UCG Flex Mini, a UniFi US-8 60W, and an older router kept mostly for appearance but still connected through the VLAN setup. All traffic is routed through a VLAN.

The setup comes after using UniFi gear and learning VLAN and wide-area network basics for the first time. Most printed parts were made on a Bambu Labs X1 Carbon, except for the DeskPi part.
