Picture on the right: As my home network expanded, I upgraded to a server rack for better organization and performance. I’m currently running a Dream Machine Pro router, a 24-port PoE switch, and a 10G switch for high-speed networking. For DNS filtering, I’ve set up a Raspberry Pi 4 with AdGuard Home. My mini PC hosts several critical services, including Nextcloud for cloud storage, Portainer for container management, Uptime Kuma for monitoring, and WordPress for website hosting. Additionally, I’m running a Plex server for media streaming, and I’ve connected a Windows PC to a 65-inch TV for an enhanced viewing experience

Move my homelab in the garage. My kids need their own room.

I made this for NAS Holder so that my drive will not fall over. Use a router tool for the edge and pocket hole. Stain it two different colors.
