Hey guys,
after starting a new job and getting interested about Cluster, shared storage etc. I still can't decide how to start my homelab for testing and maybe some things like a private cloud, Bitwarden etc. and use one of the nodes as a firewall if possible.
What I want:
Thanks in advance!
after starting a new job and getting interested about Cluster, shared storage etc. I still can't decide how to start my homelab for testing and maybe some things like a private cloud, Bitwarden etc. and use one of the nodes as a firewall if possible.
What I want:
- low form factor
- low power usage (it's getting expensive…)
- still beefy enough to virtualize a Windows server with a client for test purposes (Not expecting high performance in here)
- Proxmox Cluster with shared storage like CEPH
- Use 1 of the nodes with a OPNSense VM to use as a firewall (I hope this works because of the amount of NICs)
- Being able to virtualize a Windows Server with a client for testing but not 24/7
- Having a HA Cluster, so if one node says goodbye I don't have to worry
- 3x https://tinyurl.com/aliexpresshomelab which I would like to upgrade with a 40x10 noctua fan and put 32GB of Ram and 1TB of NVMe in each one with being able to bundle 2 NICs on each one to at least get 5 GBit for CEPH while using one of the nodes to connect with the modem to use with as a firewall.
Thanks in advance!
