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?

Fwiw I switched from k3s to Talos and find it much easier to manage. I run 3 mini 1L PCs with rook-ceph and it works flawlessly even on 1Gbe.

Hadn't heard of Talos before. Seems pretty neat. Since its run in memory I presume you could netboot it rather easily? I've not had issues with k3s myself but an immutable k8s distro sounds pretty nice.

I evaluated rook ceph and raw ceph but I don't think I need the benefits ceph offers as opposed to the increase in storage of a standard NAS with parity.
