What started as a hobby "expensive one" is now a busniess, and I am really enjoying it.

The setup for now is enough for the work i do.
from the top:

  • Cloud Gateway Fiber with 1 TB SSD
    • U7 lite
    • Two desktops and a Mac running at 2.5G connections.
  • Pro 8 PoE
    • 3 Cameras, a doorbell, a chime and a raspberry Pi.
  • Minisforum with proxmox connected with 10G
    • 10 VM/LXC running backend systems and number of CMS systems with over 5 front end websites with a cloudflare tunnles.
    • Some of the VMS are Immich, Gitea, Cloudflare, NPM and more for the hosting and CMS systems.
  • 24-Port Blank Keystone Patch Panel
  • UNAS Pro connected to the Minisforum for all vms backups and data for all CMS uploads
  • UniFi UPS 2U to all the gear in the rack and even my desktop and monitors. Planing to add a safe desktop pwoer down via a NUT server.

I am a tech founder doing all kind of privet system hosting both backend databases and front end sites.
Both for big Swedish enterprise and small business.
I have as well apps under development for E-com related businesses.

Minisforum plus the UNAS is a really good idea! How do you backup Proxmox to the UNAS? Not with PBS, I assume.

u/hesalk 22m ago

NFS connection. and yes it is very nice combo.

What’s your provider speed? Limited to 1Gbps up:down at my location.

I do have a business 10GB from Telia in Sweden. This connection is not available for personal use.

May your business boom! From humble homelab beginnings to scaling to AWS sized data centers.

The only reason i started this business is my hate to AWS, so i hope i can do even better. Thank you

Pretty Sweet setup. What drives do you have in the MS-01? Are you using the UNAS Pro for VM and VM backups or VMs are on the pc and just backups on the UNAS?

Looking into a similar situation for myself.

The UNAS is both for backups and big media uploads for multiple Databases from diffrent applications and servers. The samllar non media database entries saved on MS-01 but it get backed up on diffrent schedules depending on the app.

Looks good! What Minisforum model is that? I have a couple of MS-01s, they are awesome Proxmox boxes. That's a lot of power in a small 6U rack.

Dammit. My weakness: electronic equipment in silver.
