Rack & White
This setup has been on my mind for a while — finally brought it to life.
Build details
My 2-Bay Synology will go on top, plugged in the left rear spot.
Both of the 0.5U panels are from Desk Pi official store.
I put a 120mm 5V usb fan underneath, not sure of the efficiency.
3D plans
I 3D printed Lenovo's rack mount from this plan, they are just fine.
Bottom venting panel is from this plan.
Both of the rear blank panels are from this plan.
What's running
OPNsense gets its WAN IP via DHCP and handles LAN routing. I’ve added Tailscale to access the whole network remotely.
Right now the Proxmox cluster (16 CPUs, 64GB ram, 1To nvme) is only running some CTFs challenges, AD, some services (RSS agreg, torrenting, ...) and ofc dummy ct/vms
Future plans
My next move will be to add a 4th node to the cluster, with way more compute power, when I will need it. I might be able to fit it next to the Protectli actually.
Later plans are to build a second mini-rack with builtin NAS & Mini ITX at least, the rear RJ45 is already waiting for the extension.
