I just spent a good chunk of today migrating some services onto new docker containers in Proxmox LXCs.

As I was updating my network diagram, I was struck by just how many services, hosts, and LXCs I’m running, so counted everything up.

  • 116 docker containers
    • Running on 25 docker hosts
    • 50 are the same on each docker host - Watchtower and Portainer agent
  • 38 Proxmox LXCs (19 are docker hosts)
  • 8 physical servers
  • 7 VLANs
  • 5 SSIDs
  • 2 NASes

So, it got me wondering about the size of other people’s homelabs. What are your stats?

    Honestly, it’s because I like to play. I don’t need PEAP auth for my wireless network, but I run a radius server providing MAC and user auth, anyway.

      I hear ya, the answer to “why?” is usually “because I can” 😂

      About 8 months ago I had 20x HDDs and 8x NVME drives in my server, totaling 187 TB across three ZFS pools. I could write to the largest pool (2 RAIDZ1 striped vdevs, 6 drives wide) at 250 MB/sec and read from it at over a GB/sec and that was from spinning rust with NVME “special devices”.

      What was I doing with all of this? Pirating movies and TV shows and running a media server for my friends and family.
