A small home server rack raises network and storage questions
A home server setup needs several small computers, storage boxes, switches, and a router to work together reliably. This setup centers on three Proxmox servers, one TrueNAS storage server, an 8-port switch, and a UPS in a mini rack.
The planned services include Jellyfin, Immich, a possible second Pi-hole, OPNsense, , Papra, and other s. Storage comes from four 4 TB placed in two external USB enclosures, connected to an Intel NUC running TrueNAS.
The main concerns are whether daisy-chaining es will cause problems, whether the current USB-based NAS setup is the best low-cost option, and what should change before allowing to the Proxmox nodes through WireGuard or Tailscale. There is also a plan to install OpenWRT on a TP-Link device for use as a wireless , then possibly add another OpenWRT router to run some services.
Key points
- The setup uses three Proxmox servers and one TrueNAS storage server in a mini rack.
- Planned services include Jellyfin, Immich, Pi-hole, OPNsense, , and Papra.
- Storage is four 4 TB in two external USB enclosures.
- The network uses daisy-chained switches, raising questions about and speed.
- is planned through WireGuard or Tailscale.
