Hi all,
Seeing as I created this community it seems only fair that I kick it off with details of my Mini Lab!! LOL
Instead of them just sitting on top of each other I took inspiration from another user and built a custom rack using 2020 aluminium extrusion and 3D printed parts.
These are the specs of the servers

You can see most of the services I'm running in the Proxmox cluster screen shot, but I'm also running these in the CT called "docker-test"
- Docuwiki
- Heimdall
- Homeassistant (test env)
- Nextcloud (test env)
- Nginx Proxy Manager
- Portainer
- Overseer
- Pi-Alert
- Uptime Kuma
My "Holden" node currently has nothing running but I intend to use this node for Plex and the *arr's suite using my TrueNAS as storage for the movies & TV shows instead of the local storage.
I also have a a Dell Wyse 3040 that I've installed Proxmox on and this runs my instance of OpenVPN when I 'm away on holiday so that I can shutdown all the servers but still VPN home.
I've uploaded the print files to Printables - https://www.printables.com/model/499181-mini-lab-rack-for-dell-optiplex-mff-servers in case anyone wants to use them for something similar.
Also, it's quite heavy so I've had to relocate it from on top of a utility room wall cupboard as I wasn't convinced the cupboard brackets would support the cupboard, it's contents and the server rack!! LOL
Hi, thanks for your reply.
when I run
mount -a -vvv
