Hey all! We're back after a couple of weeks of downtime on Lemmy due to some DB migration issues + Kubernetes liveness timeouts, and general lack of time to troubleshoot. For the latest status, you can view the status page for the cluster here: https://cloudhub-social.github.io/Status/
We are also well overdue for a What's in Your Homelab for the month of August, so we'll use this post for that as well!
I had to move most of my switching equipement to my gf's house to prepare for a big move in the fall. My server are still at home, i only kept a small unmanaged switch. When I get to my new appartment in the fall I hope to finally buy a rack to be able to rack everything I have! I'm also getting a few HP G5 servers for free as well as some 1U boxes with PSU, hot swap bays and rails to build some awesome stuff! In the future, all of this for free!
Having a rack is a massive QOL improvement IMO, I originally had a stack of rackmount servers in an IKEA Lack (LackRack), and it was okay, but the rack is so much nicer.
The only thing I wish I had done was get an enclosed rack to help with noise and dust, rather than just a startech 4 post from Amazon.
And that's a lot of awesome stuff for free!
Enclosed rack are way too expensive tho... For my current setup my servers are sitting on a weird HP 192 port switch, I posted it when I joined lemmy here: https://lemmy.world/post/14870
