Home Lab Update - May 26th

 Home Lab Update

May 26th, 2025.

    Today is the first day of the Home Lab Update. Almost every time I make a change to my home lab, I want to post it here. I may not be able to write all this out every time, but for major changes to the infrastructure, I hope too.

Here the current infrastructure so far as of today, and what it handles.

• Raspberry PI 5, 8GB RAM, around 60GB of storage. This machine is used for webhosting with Apache. I may add a task to this machine since it is efficient, and only uses less than 10% of CPU usage, and 5% of RAM usage. Storage will be a limiter here though.
  
  
• Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, 1 GB RAM. This machine hosts my screenshot server, tycrek/yaass: A new, modern ShareX server, and routes all proxied traffic to all nodes using Cloudflare Zero Trust.
  
  
• I have 3 Dell nodes, one Dell mini-station, and two Precision Towers with quad-core Xeons. I have no use for them at the time, as I need a way to get around my ISP based CGNAT. After finding a way around that, I can use them for game servers, or really anything I want, but for now I am limited by my ISP.
  
  I have 3 unused Raspberry Pi's. 2 Pi 4's, and 1 Pi 3 Model B. I have no use for them now, but occasionally I use them to display art on a protector or just test with Linux arm CPUs.  
  
  My Netgear M4100-24G-POE switch works amazing for all of my server rack needs, but I have no way to access it console. All logins I have tried do not work. Even using the reset pin-size button.
  
  
  This concludes the update. Next, I hope to have a workaround for my CGNAT, and a use for my Dell workstations. Stay tuned!

 Tristin's Scribbles

Tristin (Dragon) Korbel's Blog for all things, tech, cooking, or just things I want to share.

    This blog is where at least 2 times a month, I will be posting about things I think all people should know in the tech world, maybe a good cooking recipe I ended up burning, or just me going Mach 10 on a sailing boat with classmates.

    Who are you?

    I am Tristin Korbel, known as Dragon, DragonsRule10 or DragonDevs online. I've been in the tech world since 2019, when my dad brought home a Raspberry PI 3, of which I still have to this day. Since receiving that PI 3, I've expanded my knowledge, taking almost every local opportunity that I can. I have basic knowledge of Linux, Windows, computer components, Network engineering, and can read most code and make sense of it.

    As the world moves, we get a new technology advancement every minute. Anything about technology here will have the tech tag. This includes my homelab setup, as well as other stuff I do with technology in or out of my house. Tech tip tag will be stuff I think is essential to understand your own tech, like your phone, gaming console, or gaming PC setup. 

    I have my own homelab which changes so frequently. Look for post with the homelab update tag to see the latest news. I am forever grateful to everyone, my parents, businesses, and FB Marketplace sellers who have let me have or buy hardware from them. With out these people I would of never gained the smarts I have to kick start my IT career. 

    I like to do some basic cooking and baking, especially deserts. I will be publishing recipes I follow, or ones I have added on to here with the cooking tag.

    Stuff I talk about that has no specific category will have the ETC tag.
