Nx2l's Home Lab blog

As far as I could tell everything was fine. There was a backup in the last 24 hours so not a shit-your-pants situation, I just needed to get the box back up.

And then?

Alright team, I got another situation. I have some docker containers up and running, we’ll use keycloak at port 8082. When go to http://<ip>:8020, everything is fine and dandy.

Whomst-ever, I tried to add an nginx reverse proxy and it’s acting like it can’t find the host? My config basically looks like:

location / {
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_pass http://<ip>:8020;
}

I don’t remember the exact errors (I can get those tonight if it will help) but is there anything special about proxies in docker?

Wish I could help… but I’ve never messed with proxies in docker

Im pretty interested in replacing my home lab setup an Epyc 7371 system… but other than a few articles…

I havent found anywhere that has it in stock.

Hey guys, I thought you might like my Home(lab)-made Container Orchestration Platform that I made because (in part) of this blog. Lemme know what you think!

Considering selling my current storage setup (6 core i5 . 8th gen with 64GB memory) for this:

Of course reusing my SAS HBA, FC HBAs, PSU, and case.

Thoughts??

  • yes
  • no
  • yes, but…
  • no, but…

What will this allow you to do that you can’t do now?

maybe…but not really. My next step probably should be more harddrives…

damn you… asking the questions that make me reflect on my idea.


… might could if I also sold my compute system and integrated everything into one machine. But I dont think I want to do that.

Yes, but give me the old hardware

Im changing my answer… I think the cool points are worth it… and hopefully next gen Rome still works in current motherboards.

I’ll consider it a tie, and wait for more votes.

Ive thought about doing it… maybe reduce my power usage having 1 machine vs 2…

but I like have my storage server separate and using fibre channel with LIO.

Both machines avg around 70w for light use (each)

just remembered that I didnt include my centos router/iptables system into the power numbers…

combining all three into one system would lower my power bill, but I would lose the flexibility to reconfigure or takes things offline without affecting the entire network.

I guess if I moved away from FC HBAs… I could possibly open the door for low power proxmox nodes…maybe based on Core i3 or Ryzen 3/5

But I like having a dedicated SAN… if I wasnt limited by pcie slots on ITX… Id have more options.

Maybe i just should reconfigure everything for vlan tagging and I could get way with one FC HBA per compute node (and then they could also be low power machines)

… I just need to make up my mind and pick a direction
