Hello all,
after reading a lor of posts around Internet I would like to downsize my homelab for saving dome money and for earning in redundacy.
Now I have a Dell R630 with 4 SSD in raidz1 that stays on 24h/24h and a HP DL380 G9 that turns on only on Saturday night for ZFS replication.
I don't turn on every day because I have another PBS server that power on every night and makes backup, so I decided to replica VMs only once per week.
I'm considering to move to 3 Dell Optiplex 7060 SFF with this characteristics:
CPU: i7-8700 6c/12t
RAM: 64Gb DDR4
DIsks: 1x 2Tb NVME (Ceph) + 1x 128Gb SSD 2,5"
Network cards: 1x dual port 10Gb/s + 1x quad port 2,5Gb/s
1 port at 10Gb/s will be used for Ceph network and the other for connection with the switch.
The quad port NIC at 2,5Gb/s will be used for management, corosync network and for passing WAN to OpnSense VM.
All the nodes will be connected to a switch 8p 10Gb/s connected to a switch 24p 1Gb/s with an uplink of 10Gb/s.
Doing this I will have redundacy all day and I hope to reduce some of the eletrical power usage.
And of course I will keep the PBS server for the backups.
Any suggestion about this project? Is there anyone with the same setup?
