Figured we’d start this community off with a question about what you’re running in your homelab!

This could be anything from hardware to software to things your running in the cloud (#cloudlab).

Hardware and diagram pics are always welcome!

    Joe’s datacenter & hetzner server auctions are good deals if you’ve got bad internet and want to run your own multiple smaller VMs! Depending on latency in the case of hetzner.

    But yeah, hosting at home is always great. I did it for years, but electricity prices began creeping up and I got tired of the maintenance

      Yeah, that’s true, they do have pretty good prices. I like DO though because it’s where I started and they have a DC not too far from me, so latency is very low.

          That’s true! Those do add up over time.

          I’d love to go full cloud-native with a kubernetes cluster, but I can’t justify the $100+ a month for a reasonable cluster :(

            That’s my disappointment as well! I’ve done k3s on a droplet, and it was nice, but I’d like to handover the control plane to a cloud provider when I’m experimenting without burning my wallet.
