My home setup with all things needed for managing media, home automation and more.
- Mikrotik RB4011 is the main router which holds all VLANs.
- TP-Link TL-SG2428P PoE switch for all devices in the house, modded with two Noctua NF-A4x20 5v for silence.
- EAP660HD, and 2x EAP615-Wall are in charge of WiFi(6) in all the rooms. They also provide seamless roaming when you walk from room to room.
As I really appreciate the silence, the goal was to build/get machines that are either passive or very silent.
- UNYKAch 2128 19 2U Rack Case
- ASRock J5005-ITX
- 8GB SO-DIMM DDR4 RAM
- 3x WD Red 8TB
- Intel 300GB SSD
- FSP250 PSU
- 3x Noctua NF-A8 ULN
NAS is running Ubuntu 22.04. Snapraid is used for software raid, and mergerfs is used to have unified filesystem for disks. One disk is parity drive and the other two are in mergerfs pool which in total gives out around 15TB of space. The setup for storage server is in ansible part of this repo.
This small and very silent machine is currently a single k3s node. It has 24GB RAM and i5-8259U which is more than enough for all the things that I'm running.
