So here’s another homelab sin I committed… I dont use rails. I stead I buy these adjustable universal shelves that get installed like rails. Why? Because all my servers are second hand and require proprietary mounting rails. The dell server rails are way more expensive than they need to be haha

I’ve used ice raven and mull!

Looks pretty nice. I’m in the process of doing the same. One bit of annoyance is that I have a half length cabinet but one of my servers is full length.

So really you have a decision to make here. Will you always have access to the VPN when you want to use those services. I suspect the answer is no in practicality. So I prefer to use something like Cloudflare tunnels to provide secure access to my network resources I’m choosing to share. I dont have to worry about ever use and every device always using a VPN. That’s just my preference though. It should be noted that I believe video and audio streaming is still against thr ToS for cloudflare tunnels. So for those applications I night use a different strategy like a VPN or wireguard.

Proxmox for VMs. Fedora on my personal workhorse laptop. Arch for my PineTab 2
