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”
