Personally will be trying to transform my server which is currently in a fractal R5 case, into a small-ish Homelab rack, combined with all my network equipment. Will require complete relocation of all network equipment in the house as well as cables so it will be a bit of a project. Also on the lookout for a good quality rack so let me know if you have any recs. Still unsure if u want to do full width rack or mini. Part of me really want the UDM Pro from Unifi…
What are your goals and thing you want to accomplish during 2025?
Probably a hardware upgrade of some kind. The i5-7500 is not cutting it for Minecraft servers with mods and Arma 3 servers, single thread performance is just too slow. So I may grab an i3-14100 or similar and a motherboard and do that swap.
Most important: replace the raspi SD card with an SSD
General hardware: see if I find a better solution than my current Proxmox box (repurposed desktop which consumes 60w idling but is capped to 16GB Ram)
Incoming traffic: currently having a VM that runs nothing but nginx and certbot. Considering switching to another reverse proxy and, more important, get proper monitoring of the logs (e.g. IP detection, 403, etc)
Maybe add some iam like authentik
Finding a solution for selfhosting podcasts client with sync on Android and Linux… gpodder never really seemed to work, considering audiobookshelf.
Probably setting up calibre web and gethomepage
Keeping what I have and maybe optimize a bit:
Prometheus stack
plenty exporters
Nextcloud
paperless
home assistant, mosquitto
pihole
vaultwarden
selfoss
On VPS:
Mastodon
Bookwyrm
some WordPress (want to move this to my homeserver as well)
This, my ssd randomly disappeared on my proxmox server January 1st so I had to start from scratch. Didn’t have any docker compose backups or lxc backups… I suppose this time I can do everything right now lol
Get VLANs working, proper IOT network isolation, and Nextcloud as my primary document storage. If that first one didn’t bring down my homelab entry time I try I’d be more inclined.
VLANs for the win! Was a difficult process for me too when i first setup my Omada stack, but got there in the end. Very nice to have it sorted. While you’re at it, you might want to look into having a seperate wifi for guests! I at least have a very limited guest wifi, with a QR code guests can scan when they come in to my house - neat little thing for them, plus i dont have to worry about their devices on my network.
While not really for my hosting, I want to upgrade the Wi-Fi speeds in my home, currently running an eero setup that provides good coverage, but the speed seems poor when transferring large files around the home.
Yes, I have run wires to a few rooms, but not everywhere and it can be difficult to convince myself to continue down this path. However, it is the more affordable option.

Part of the *arr stack, to find some obscur films and old series.
I need to transfer my plex server install from my synology NAS to an Intel nuc running plex in docker.

Might get around to tidying this 20-year-old mess up a bit - tho I’m not sure where to start lol.
I am not a proud man.
I appreciate you posting your balls like this.
Fuck it it works. Lol
Got a 3 year old kid with another on the way. I just need it to be reliable so the kid can watch Sesame Street and the lights keep working.
Actually have a decent backup system and data repetition

Do git :)
Dumb question but is there a way to automatically backup my compose files to my local gitea instance?
Can’t you just write them in an IDE and push to your gitea?
Goals: keep it running
Be brave enough to test my backups
Ouf yeah same here 😅

Finalise my physical network to have at least one available port in every essential room & build a new home server/NAS.

Not sure what to get, but this is my goal.
Wired backhaul?
You mean run wires?
If it’s a mesh system yes running wires would be a nice upgrade

Great goal! Good networking is jolly important. Best of luck bud :)
