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?

That's a lot. Impressive

I've pared mine down a lot. The biggest hurdle for me has been storage.

It used to be 5 2u servers running a ceph cluster, but that got to be expensive and unruly.

Now it's mainly a small half depth supermicro for my firewall, a half depth supermicro for home assistant, a 2u Dell for unraid, and a small NAS.

Unraid houses Plex and the *arrs. Along with a handful of other useful services like immich.

I do colo a 1u HP though that houses my pbx, web server, unifi controller, jirai server, nextcloud, email, and a bunch of other servers that I run.

Now, I've got a lot of spare hardware though. 7 Dell 1u servers, 2 Dell 2u, a supermicro 3u, an HP 2u and a bunch of things clients that I might turn into replacements for my rokus.

Wow I am not in your league

I am currently migrating from a dedicated docker host to a proxmox host with multiple LXC containers.

old host - 23 docker containers, 128GB system drive, 4TB data drive

backup server - 1 docker container, 1TB disk

proxmox - 3 LXC containers, one of which has 3 docker containers. 500GB system drive, 4TB media drive (not LVM)

The plan is to migrate the loads on the old host to the proxmox host. I also have another 4TB drive coming with the intent of setting up a RAID with 2 of the 4TB drives.

One laptop, 2 ssd, 4 Proxmox lxcs, 3 docker containers, 2 routers.

I've got an old Dell Poweredge tower server with dual 6-Core Xeons, 128 GB Ram, and 21 TB combined Raid 5 storage.

  • 10 VM's
  • Veeam Backups
  • All behind a Mikrotik RB3011

I run one service per VM because I like being able to nuke the whole thing without bringing down any other services.

You can get some good hardware on eBay if you know what you're looking at. The HDD and SDD's cost more than the server. Electricity probably runs about $16/mo.

Biggest problem I've got coming up is what I'm going to do for backups once I exceed Veeam community editions 10 VM limit.

Three most important VM's are Jellyfin (whole family uses every day), Paperless-ngx (I use every day), and Jitsi (kids use to video call Grandma and Grandpa). Most of the other stuff is non-essential.
