I diagrammed out my home lab/home server setup, mostly to keep a complete overview of how everything connects. I didn't want to get bogged down in aesthetics around colour scheme, or layout -- as you can no doubt tell. After a while diagramming it started to feel like a meme where I was trying to convey some crazy conspiracy theory on a wall of pinned paperwork and connecting threads. I think I am done documenting everything. But now I am wondering how obsessive I should be about detailing every little thing and VLANs and IP assignments. I don't really care if it looks like a dog's dinner, I really just care about "okay, where does this wire go to?" Is that the right approach?

It’s a homelab when I’m just screwing around with some new software just to test it out. It becomes homeserver when I need to schedule maintenance windows to update things.

That’s part of the reason why I scaled back a lot of the stuff I had at home a few years ago. I maintain enough of this stuff at work. I don’t want to do it at home.

100%. Fuck this shit of doing it at home. I want a set it and forget it solution and go outside.
