Finally got around to racking up my lab! (Still needs wiring up, but that's tomorrows problem)

Top to bottom:

1u PDU
1u cable management
1u custom super micro pfsense build
1u tplink jetstream. 24x1Gbe 4x SFP
1u cable management
2u patch panel
4u custom super micro server
A shelf with a UPS and a gaming rig (ryzen with a 1070ti)

Going to run rancher harvester + rancher vm + k8s cluster. Usual media stack, nextcloud, pihole, etc etc.

Mostly just want a cluster to play with and harvester seems fun!

Hi, would love to know your opinion on your networking gear. Could you detail your pfsense build and how that switch is treating you? Thanks

The tp link jetstream is decent. They're managed (with a proper ios like cli!) There's also access points that can tie into them nicely.

The PFSense build is 6 or 7 years old now. Its one of the supermicro embedded boards. Probably an x9. It has an ssd, 4 1gbe ports and 8gb of RAM. It can handle lots of rules, and lots of traffic!
