10" Mini Rack network / server setup incoming

[dualmeister]

New toys time

6U 10" Mini Rack acquired.

Time to update the home network with some PoE support added for future WIFi access point and a camera or two.

3D printed mount for switch ordered.

To add a budget second hand mini PC later. Might even try the Homelab thing lol.

Quick mount test, but will change.

One of the products my company used to sell was tool-less RJ45 keystones. Quite nifty for something like that where additions are bound to happen.

There is a massive 3D printing community around homelab racks like yours. If I remember the youtube channels/videos, I'll post them.

Enjoy and happy exploring/learning/expirimenting

Damn it Amazon why are you tempting me

Would prefer WIFI 6 though.

Tool-less keystones save time during installations. Also interested to see those 3D printing channels for rack accessories if you find them.

3D switch mount came out awesome.

Bit more time to play around today.

Switch fits 3D printed panel perfectly.

Only recently discovered Tailscale. Wanted to run it on my old Odroid C1, but seems it has decided to go RIP after all the tears.
Not to worry. Turns out my decade old Orange Pi One is still supported with a Debian 13 based Armbian install. Runs Tailscale
no problem.

Also discovered that the my Orange PI can fit in my old Raspberry PI case (which ironically has never housed a RPi)
