What are your Homelab goals for 2025?
What are your Homelab goals for 2025?
Personally will be trying to transform my server which is currently in a fractal R5 case, into a small-ish Homelab rack, combined with all my network equipment. Will require complete relocation of all network equipment in the house as well as cables so it will be a bit of a project. Also on the lookout for a good quality rack so let me know if you have any recs. Still unsure if u want to do full width rack or mini. Part of me really want the UDM Pro from Unifi..
What are your goals and thing you want to accomplish during 2025?

I am doing exactly the same as what the OP is doing. In addition to that, I will unify my beelink mini PC proxmox server and our old Intel atom NAS into one rack server with AMD EPYC, proxmox and truenas in a VM.
I sure hope our landlord and the Internet operator can agree on the operator finally bringing fiber cables to all apartments. Then I would have fast enough uplink to my homelab.
I'm begging for fiber too! It's 2025 gosh darn it š
And here I am stuck in an apartment in NYC with one option.. spectrum cable. That's it. I mean you COULD get Verizon DSL (lol) or some horrendously overpriced LTE thing, but realistically you're at the mercy of whatever bloodsucking landlord thinks you deserve.
@Disaster @Sunny I found tmobile's 5g to be reasonably priced ($50/mo) and solid speeds. Much better than spectrum, but it depends on how close to a tower you are.
Sadly, https://www.nycmesh.net/ isn't out in central queens yet.
Yeah... So I'm in Berlin, and in Germany the internet operators finally are building fiber everywhere. The provider who lays the fiber to our street is Deutsche Telekom, and they promise to pay everything: laying the fiber, bringing it to our house and bringing the fiber to every apartment for a two year monopoly on fiber internet after which it's up for competition using their cables. What needs to happen next is our landlord (a Swiss company) and house management company to agree on these guys to come in, put little fiber dividers to every floor and drill a hole to the walls so we get the fiber cable to our apartment.
Of course this being Germany, they are very slow on agreeing on that, we might need to go to court and for sure we need to talk to our neighbors who own their apartments to push them a bit. I'd expect us to get the connection maybe before end of 2025. But eventually it will happen...
