What are your homelab stats? (reddrefuge.com)

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?

I'm able to get a lot of gear secondhand through my job, so I've got:

One 2u Intel server running proxmox in a 'cluster' (circa 2013ish. Added RAM and upgraded the CPU/storage.)

One Intel nuc with an i7-7th gen as the other host in the cluster - only one VM is set to fail over between the two if needed.

VMs:

Plex
2x PiHoles (one of these is the failover VM) (these also have a few docker containers like Uptime Kuma.)
Windows arr box (I know it's blasphemy but I felt more comfortable doing that stuff in windows)
anything else I want to mess with because the server really doesn't run that hard.

Network:

Sonicwall TZ 300 (incl a perpetual VPN license)
Unifi 24 port switch (it's gigabit and POE but doesn't output enough power for the...)
single Unifi AP.

All acquired over the last couple years for the low low price of "it was going into the trash anyway"

Nice! There's nothing better than finding new life for old tech.
