A home server rack rebuilt around 10 gigabit networking
The setup was reorganized around a switch. The outside network side includes a Nokia router from the internet provider and an optical network box in a wall closet. The rack includes a Hue bridge, a cellular modem for backup internet, a Mikrotik switch, and a Mikrotik 1 gigabit switch.
Storage is handled by a TrueNAS server in a Define R5 case. Two small Minisforum UN100D machines run Proxmox, with OPNsense and Debian-based Docker workloads on top. Power is supported by an Eaton UPS, a for power monitoring, and three power units.
is handled with an 8-port KVM and JetKVM. The rack is a shallow 32U PrimeCables rack, and the setup is meant to be ready for a future 3 gigabit internet upgrade.
Key points
- The setup uses both a switch and a 1 gigabit switch for wired networking.
- A cellular modem provides backup internet if the main connection fails.
- A TrueNAS server handles storage, while two small Minisforum machines run Proxmox services.
- An Eaton UPS and help manage power failures and power monitoring.
- An 8-port KVM with JetKVM allows of machines without being physically near the rack.
