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?

    1. Finish building a mini-rack with a server (almost done).
    2. Finish cabling the house with CAT6 cables.
    3. Migrate the current VPS running my docker services to the self-hosted server.
    4. Implement a NAS on the server using a virtualized OpenMediaVault instance.
    5. Migrate my network infrastructure from a single asuswrt-merlin router to OPNSense + Cisco Switch.

      What mini rack did you go for? Am looking to do the same.

        I built one! I bought some rails, a couple of network trays and some wheels and there you have it!
