Homelab

Components

Since my homelab is constantly changing, it's likely that the information on this page is out of date. Generally, I don't change hardware that often. As of June 2026, I am running:

The Proxmox cluster is fairly new, so I am in the midst of transitioning most of my services to it. I am planning to install Proxmox on the Ubuntu server to make better use of its resources, and while I could install Proxmox as is, I'd rather start anew on that server. Currently, the Ubuntu server has an AMD Ryzen 3 3100 CPU, 32 GB RAM, and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER GPU.

All three of the GF-1388NP-12 boards have four Intel I225-V 2.5GbE interfaces. With four interfaces, it's easy to setup a routed mesh topology using direct connections between three nodes, for a cluster communication backbone. Since the topology requires \(n-1\) interfaces per node, we still have two interfaces left. I use one interface for management. The remaining interface's use is dependent on the node it's on. For one node, I have a virtualized OPNsense firewall. I passthrough the interface on that node to the firewall, which serves as my lab network's WAN port. On another node, I include the remaining port as part of a VLAN bridge that is on each node, so my personal computer can route through the lab network to my upstream router.

GF-1338NP-12

The GF-1338NP-12 is a fanless single-board computer that typically has a soldered Intel N-family or J-family processor. The board is manufactured by BKHD, and the only official documentation I can find on it is from their website. It seems that there are multiple versions of the board, with mine being ver 1.4. All three of my boards have the Intel N5100 CPU. Eventually, I will try to provide some better documentation about them.
