Personally will be trying to transform my server which is currently in a fractal R5 case, into a small-ish Homelab rack, combined with all my network equipment. Will require complete relocation of all network equipment in the house as well as cables so it will be a bit of a project. Also on the lookout for a good quality rack so let me know if you have any recs. Still unsure if u want to do full width rack or mini. Part of me really want the UDM Pro from Unifi..

What are your goals and thing you want to accomplish during 2025?

Move from Ubuntu to Debian and add more cameras to frigate.

Finish my migration to my local Kubernetes cluster. Tired of running a mix of vms, docker, and bare metal. I got it setup and a few things, just have to power through.

I also need to bump the drive size in my NAS as I’m running low and want to leverage it more, not less. (Pods use PVs hosted on the NAS over NFS or iSCSI).

And get my offsite backups going again, I had to move this last year and it put a real damper on my goals for last year so there’s a lot of “got the stuff just have to make it work”.

Edit: the UDM Pro is pretty nice. That, a rack and a 2.5G enterprise switch were last year’s acquisitions.

Add an NVMe cache to my server and upgrade RAM if pricing permits.

From the software side there are a lot of open feature requests I keep adding to my backlog, like setting up a mail archive, reconfiguring my network (separate IoT devices into separate VLANs), maybe reconfigure some of my containers, …

  • Setup my two offsite backups at work and family home.
  • Decide if I want more storage or to start deleting some media.
  • Setup a work server.
  • Something fun?

It would be to replace my 4-bay Synology DS918 NAS with something with more drive bays and 10 Gbit connectivity

I love my Synology DS1618 - it's a bit older now, but the 10Gbps is a delight.

I'm currently saving up to buy a fractal design node 804 to build a NAS with 4 drives within. Also trying to create some more reliable backups using said NAS.

Really a few things. What I am looking to do is create a highly dynamic system where I can easily deploy something by kicking off some automation. To do this I am first creating a base Ceph shared filesystem. This will be mounted in all VMs so that I can use Ansible to quickly spin up Docker containers via docker compose. This will make it much easier to dynamically create resources and services since I won't need to worry about all the underlying components. I simply kick off the automation for any changes. I already have the automation to create new VMs.
