Tanks a lot. With usual ambient sounds and under normal load it is inaudible. When it’s rellay quiet in the room and I copy files, I can hear the disks clicking, but thats ok for me as I sleep in another room.
I live in Germany, indeed. FRITZ!Box ist quiet popular here. Basicly I could choose to get a really crappy router or this box from my ISP. What made me add the pfSense box was the lack of VLANs in the Fritz.
Thanks! Yes, I would have loved to see more projects from the Kobol team. So far I'm quite happy with this low power NAS.
my small homelab
Hi all, long time reddit lurker, first time lemmy poster here.
This is the current state of my tiny homelab. I use it for learning and self hosting some services.
Top to bottom:
IPS modem / router
- only used as cable modem
- all other functionality is disabled
HP Elitedesk 705 G3 Mini
- Proxmox VE Host
- 4C/4T - 16GB RAM
- 128GB SSD for Boot
- 500GB NVME SSD for VMs
- replaced 2 Pi4 and still gives space for experiments
- Services: NodeRed, InfluxDB, Grafana, PiHole, Uptime Kuma, Observium
Kobol Helios64
- ARM-based NAS running Armbian
- 6C/6T - 4GB RAM
- 128GB SSD for Boot
- 3 x 1TB HDD as raid5 for storage
- Services: personal Nextcloud instance, that I use for file sharing and synchronization between my devices and also as WebDAV target for Joplin
4-Port Firewall-Appliance
- runs pfSense CE
- 4C/4T - 4GB RAM
- 128GB SSD for Boot
- manages VLANs, DHCP and reverse proxy (HAProxy)
not in picture
- managed switch: TP-Link TL-SG116E (looking to upgrade to a switch with some 2.5G Ports)
- UPS: Eaton Ellipse ECO 650
All together this pulls around 60W from the wall. Happy to answer questions.
